15. First question: Do we need cars?
Thu May 8, 2014, 03:44 PM
May 2014

For most of us, who are not growing food away from dense population centers, I don't think so.

If I walk, bicycle, buy a random bus or train ticket, sailing or flying with friends, I can be anywhere.

I've been anywhere, across national borders too.

With a car or an airline ticket there's a license plate on my butt and another in my wallet.

Fascists love that. They know where I am.

I'm at home today and avoiding trouble.
