I'm not addicted to oil.

I'm addicted to being able to drive into town on my own schedule. I'm addicted to being able to haul home a week's worth of groceries with two little kids in tow without having to wait for the fucking bus with eighty pounds of filled plastic bags in my hands. (That's disregarding the fact that I live out in the sticks, and the nearest bus stop is four miles away, which is one hell of a hike with the aforementioned two little kids and week's worth of groceries.)

"I don't give a shit what kind of substance I have to put in the tank of the minivan to feed that particular addiction. I don't care about oil. If my minivan ran on distilled cow piss, I'd fill up with distilled cow piss. If they ever come up with an electric minivan that goes the speed limit on the Interstate, accelerates to highway speeds in less time than a geologic epoch, and doesn't need to be recharged every fifty miles with electricity that comes from a coal-powered plant anyway, I'll gladly buy one of those and deep-six the old combustion engine.
And if one of you media assholes spouts off about being addicted to oil ever again I'm going to climb in my car, drive over to your house and punch you in your cliche spouting face.

Oh you silly person....don't you know!??!? You WONT be living out in the hinterlands (where you really want to live) You will be living in a government built, government subsidised multistory apartment house!!!!

This housing will be on a rail line. The rail line will take you to the shops, the library, your doctor. (all of those businesses will also be on the rail line!)

The liberal progressives in this country don't want people to live whereever the INDIVIDUAL wants. The libs have decided that people can not live out in nature. That is an afront to gaia!

Get with it kiddo! You need to see the truth!!!
