I actually hate riding in cars, vans, blah blah. I avoid them at all costs, if I can. Our current infrastructure doesn't really cater to alternative transportation on any real level. BUT, in those areas, you do have some choice...even if it's outlandish and outside of normal parameters. But limited, very very limited.
I know nothing is perfect. There's death's by toothpicks as well, oh God! I just question the logic behind a pat on the back, in light of recent events. You'd think that perhaps they'd kinda down play it just a tad, especially coming fresh off the heels of fucking up a mainstay industry in Louisiana and never REALLY coming off regretful in the 11 deaths.
