Sure there is. It's just a matter of priorities.


And everybody's got different ones. If the majority of Americans would rather
have better transit than put a man on Mars, whose priority should be followed?

Even if the Elser-Mathes Cup stays unclaimed....

The only difference here is that you're asking Joe Average to be ready
to
give up his/her SUV (or at least keep it garaged a lot more) and they don't
want to do it.


No, what I'm asking is for a lot more - responsibility.


That's what I said, Jim...Joe Average doesn't want to give up
his/her
SUV. To do so would be to take some responsibility for participating in
helping the enviroment.


That's cured by education. And it doesn't stop at the
SUV-as-a-commuting-vehicle - there are lots of other opportunities to reduce
consumption, resulting in eventual energy independence.

btw, did you see who the Democrats are running for VP?
