When every house seems to have a car for every single person IN the house, it's not hard to see how traffic can be bad. Take a look at some of the neighborhoods around here. It's like drive ways and car holes don't even exist any more. There's just barely enough room to drive right along the center between the long long rows of people parked in the street, and this isn't just Independence Day or local fair type of parking stuff (that's MUCH worse these days), this is year round now! It's really terrible. However, used cars are so cheap now that it's not much of a surprise that everyone can get one. That's it! Get me Robo and a vat of chocolate cocoa! I'm inventing a telepod if it takes me all night!
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
