Welcome to IWETHEY!

New This should be handled like 911.
We should ban all cars from all roads until we can make them all safe for the public. (Which means, of course, no automobiles will ever be used again).

It would seem, therefore, that the three human impulses embodied in religion are fear, conceit, and hatred. The purpose of religion, one might say, is to give an air of respectibility to these passions. -- Bertrand Russell
New Not a solution.
Cars came along in time to keep the streets from filling up with horse shit. Which they were doing.
Population seems to be the problem. The US had the room for all those people to spread out. In doing so, people don't like to live in high concentrations here. Therefore suburban sprawl and related problems (read cars, guns, displaced wildlife, higher costs, no time to spend with the kids because of the higher costs... and so it goes.)
Our society was too decentralized when cars were becoming popular. It will take very drastic steps to fix it. On the other paw, if we off 5 out of the 6 billion humans on the planet, it will probably make the planet last longer... I'm not feeling altruistic enough to volunteer myself. How 'bout you? :)
New I'll volunteer
To do the offing... I have a list already started... :-)

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. (Herm Albright)
New Got a little list and they'll never be missed... :)
New By whom? ;-)
