This reflects well against my family's attitude for cars and driving. Less and less.

Americans are ... Sure. Getting on the Agenda-21 bandwagon, moving into cities (like DestroyIt), joining ICLEI, and going for One World Government....

Also cheap or free shipping of internet orders. I wanted something on sale at Best Buy and I figured at well over $3/gallon it was cheaper for me to just have it shipped rather than driving there on Saturday afternoon and burning a gallon of gas. I used to regularly go to some stores in Cincinnati that aren't in Dayton but it isn't worth my time or money when I can just have stuff shipped.

Driving less has nothing to do with suddenly going mother-Earth and everything to do with expense. Cars are expensive and gas is outrageous. Cash for Clunkers did what it was designed to do and took most of the inexpensive starter cars off the market. My Marauder costs $12-15 to take into town. I bought a VW TDI, which gets 40mpg and performs like a V8. But I watch how much I drive.
It is the liberal dream to force everyone onto public transportation and move everyone into apartments in the inner city. (BTW, they’d still keep their estates and drive their BMW supper cars.)

When I went to the U of Mn every student was hit with a fee that went to MPIRG - the Minnesota branch of PIRG. A totally liberal piece of garbage.
There was a process you could follow to get that money back. I used it every single year I went there.

Owning a car is getting out of reach for many people with taxes, inspections, mandatory insurances, high gas prices.
All brought to us by leftist puppets.

cash for clunkers makes sure that cars that can be monitored are on the roads. Took out an entire generation of cars.

This comes from a group (PIRG) with a public transit agenda. Get the facts before trusting a single word.

On of thousands of liberal groups pushing the liberal agenda.
They have zero credibility in my mind.

My VW TDI has a dye pack in the fuel line and a color sensor. It will report if I used untaxed fuel. The fine is $10,000. If the dealer fails to report me they also get fined $10,000.

How does it report? And to whom?
