I have a car (a truck, actually). I also have a bicycle. I use both of them,
and sometimes I walk. Occasionally, I put my canoe on top of the truck and
take it somewhere to go fishing. At such times, I very happy I'm not
car-less. Sometimes I put the bicycle in the truck and drive somewhere to
ride it -- somewhere less congested than here.

If one can get around without a car, fine -- do it, then. Some of us need or
want the things, even though we're aware of their drawbacks. The ownership
or lack of ownership of an internal-combustion-beast does not intrinsically
make one a better or worse person, anyway. Now, can we get back to
slamming the Registry and any other deserving state agencies?
