add me to the list!  it would be nice to see the u.s. come up to speed in the
areas of energy efficiency (esp. transportation) and general availability
of good reliable mass transit.  we really are a big joke to the rest of the
world on this one.  gas *should* cost $2 a gallon.  you'd have much fewer
people driving mustangs/corvettes/lincoln town cars etc.  people might think
twice about driving that 30 foot behemoth rv (for just two people!) around
the u.s. as well.  and NO EXCEPTIONS for the trucking lobby either.

USA: Land of the misinformed, home of the narrowminded?  Looking more that way
every day.  Maybe we should ban *TV*.  and legal bribery of our government
officials.  and corporate welfare.  maybe we should stop subsidizing big oil.
maybe we should encourage preventative medicine.  maybe we should learn how
to respect one another.  maybe we should get off our high horse.  maybe we
should tone down our worship of the Almighty$Dollar.  after all, the founding
fathers *did* suggest the separation of church and state.
