Oil prices are up, and that affects people far and wide. Drivers pay more for gasoline, and truckers more for diesel.

The only times I see people like me, who prefer owning a car “shouting down” people adcovating for better public transport, is when people suggest I should get rid of my car and ride a bus instead. A good public transportation system is a net-good for everyone, and in no way inconveniences me especially if I never even use it. It’s not busses and trains I have an issue with - it’s the naive city dwellers who thinks that because they get around just fine without a car then anyone would.

Thanks for providing an example of the type of person I’m talking about. You sound just like their self-centered asses! Good satire.

Your comment is NOT nice. Please, remember this in the future and enjoy your week long vacation.

Why even bother responding to me if, instead of addressing what exactly you take issue with in my statement, you just immediately resort to insults?
