I didn't deliberately leave out anything. It was a general statement. I am not adverse to the increased voluntary use of public transportation, although I don't want it forced down my throat.
This type of letter to the editor is what people do to try and scare people: "Children **may** die if...blah, blah, blah..." They then don't cover the other side of the issue that says children will be better off.
Sadly the entire story rarely gets out when it comes to these types of issues. Much like the press rarely getting out the conservative side of a story. The "environmentalists" "We're All Gonna Die - The Children Twice... Each" stories make much better headlines.
