danielo suddenly realizes the problem
Friday, July 18, 2008Perhaps you're not listening closely.
When I say "Maybe you don't need an automobile," and you hear, "Maybe you can live your present selfish and unplanned lifestyle without the crutch it's built around," -- that's evidence that you must have axle grease in your ears.
I am fairly certain that you can't, actually, continue to live your car-addicted lifestyle and give up your automobile addiction. You also can't give up snorting cocaine and still snort cocaine -- that doesn't make sense. But I am also certain that you might very well not need that automobile. Maybe you just need to embrace the fact that a better life, free of automobile addiction, is not only feasible, but also rewarding, and perhaps even exemplary.
And before you start your whining about how hard it would be, I refer you to my previous post, and to the summary of it:
YOU'RE NOT A BABY, QUIT YOUR WHINING AND BUCK UP.
Walk. Ride a bike. Take the bus. Carpool. Vanpool. Just leave the goddamn car at home!
