It's that type of conclusion
that creates "unnecessary
and unproductive dissonance"

Its precisely the single serving,
exceptionalism that is leading
the assault on the environment.

Until the public perceptions are
realigned with cooperative and
community based interactions,
will the me me me me...
driven consumerism abate.

I don't see an attack on automobiles.
All I see is recognition of an
infrastructure that demands the
"dependence upon single serving autos".
