So would you prefer living in the 1800's (ignoring the previous inventions that didn't effectively work as a machine that made travel quicker) when we didn't have cars?

Farmers used to have to plow their field with a horse. Now they use harvesters and tractors that allow for enormously large amounts of land to be grown for food and sold.

Since you don't drive, I am going to assume you live in a city where everything is close by. Great, but not everyone has that luxury with the creation of sub division's which (in my city) can be a number of miles away from the grocery store or nearest convenience store.

Society is built upon the creation of fast travel because a lot of people have the option of fast travel.

You say I have never lived in a Society that doesn't depend on cars. I don't think one exists unless your living in some utopia where everyone grows everything they need and all help each other build everything.

What delivers the supplies to build your house? Trucks
What makes food readily available for you to buy and eat? Trucks.

Maybe I am taking it the wrong way, but it irk's me to no end when people bash trucks because they pollute the earth so much. They make life possible, I would know because I spent 14 hours yesterday in a beat up old piece of shit 1978 western star helping my dad deliver a $350 k TerraGator to a farmer 120 miles away from the pickup, and then delivering the tractor he(the customer) had rented to another farmer.

So, I don't pretend to know anything about you personally, but you seem to have an internet connection which suggests your not some menaknight who ignores the technological society and is completely independent from automobiles.

Unless you can give me a society with our (again I am assuming since you have a computer with internet) quality of life that is completely independent from automobiles, than don't say cars are worse than they are good. They may not be good for the planet, and you know what, I am only going to live for a small amount of time, and as harsh as it is to say it, I couldn't care less about global warming. I see it as a marketing scam so people buy "green".


When renegade goes Wub, it never goes back

(or at least until I re-install renegade anyways)
