Actually, Kenny, it *is* possible to have a life without a car. Occasionally it can be inconvenient, but I exist quite happily from day to day without one. Of course, I live within a block of a t stop, and work within a few blocks of another t stop (if I'm lazy; I'm actually within walking distance to EFF). I have grocery stores and everything else nearby. I can usually deal with any need for a car by calling a cab or renting. Of course, it just so happens that my life is set up right now in such a way that a car would be more of a hassle than a convenience. I don't expect that to be the case for most people, and even for me in the nearish future. Oh, but I don't ride a bike around here (I think I'd be dead real soon). I walk and T it everywhere. -- Rita Marie Rouvalis rita@eff.org Electronic Frontier Foundation | We make out of the quarrel with others, 155 Second Street | rhetoric, but of the quarrel with Cambridge, MA 02141 617-864-0665 | ourselves, poetry. -- W.B.
