What's wrong with this picture?

I am licensed to travel by car, but this restricts me compared to
virtually unregulated walkers who can climb stairs, hike along sylvan
paths, and tread across foot bridges. After all, the golden horizon
of the automotive age is about furthering the piston technology of
propulsion, gas exploration beneath ice caps, and parking lot
revenues. Why can't we drive into elevators, or park in bath rooms?
Bureaucratic priorities seem to be distorted by lame prejudices for
doors and hallways designed during the era before the chariot.

Just compare the number of rules and regulations for roads and
sidewalks. Controlling an auto is an advanced skill proving our merit
among mankind. Walking is just steps away from the Neanderthalic Tar
Pits. Driving should be made universal and without restriction as the
birth right of an enlightened and progressive society.
