Recent findings have revealed that one in five (21 percent) of those surveyed think owning a car is wasteful and should be discouraged by Governments. The research from Bolt looked into what would trigger British car owners aged between 18 and 39 to move away from owning a private car.

Keep importing third world trash and get rid of your private vehicles...genius.

I know I would sure love to take public transportation in the Philly area.
All cultures are equal...

Excerpt from C.S. Lewis "Screwtape Proposes a Toast":

(The scene is in Hell at the annual dinner of the Tempters’ Training College for young devils. The principal, Dr. Slubgob, has just proposed the health of the guests. Screwtape, a very experienced devil, who is the guest of honour, rises to reply:)

"What I want to fix your attention on is the vast, overall movement towards the discrediting, and finally the elimination, of every kind of human excellence – moral, cultural, social, or intellectual. And is it not pretty to notice how “democracy” (in the incantatory sense) is now doing for us the work that was once done by the most ancient Dictatorships, and by the same methods?"

I don’t like Lima Beans.

I don’t eat them or own them.

No government agency was needed.

If you don’t want a car, don’t buy one.. but don’t tell others they can’t have theirs…

Britain is a small country, and they do have an extensive train system that makes it easy to get around the country. Conceivably, you could do fine without a car there for the most part.

The US, however, is a completely different kettle of fish.

And the Govt want to control even more of the waters.

So even the upstream fish are threatened.

I imagine more girliemen in England. Not owning a car would greatly add to the excuses for not doing something. Owning a car immediately provides choices at all hours of the day and night. If it is pouring rain you can still go to a store, pharmacy, etc without standing in the rain.

The issue with any form of mass transit is safety.

As a country becomes more third world it gets more dangerous to travel on public conveyances.
