>>As for me, I'd like to see a rational, democratic, voted-for, planned, gradual increase in the gasoline tax over the next twenty years--phased in gradually so people and business could adjust and wean themselves off the national addiction to the automobile, and start to reverse the horrible suburban sprawl created by the automobile. Put the proceeds directly into a special fund to finance a cool high-speed attractive train system. I also know that it will never ever happen in this country--never--we will never find the leadership necessary for it or muster the will and intelligence to do it, and people will never vote for it. Too bad for America. Too bad for the world.

You have to be joking. What nonsense. How totally stupid. You should wean yourself some off that.

Mass transit is a time-detested boondoggle. Haven't you learned anything? There is more proven reserves than ever. The internal combustion engine is now as clean as electricity (see Honda).

As for you - I'd like to see the clowns like you start practicing what they preach. There is nothing that prevents you and others from sending the US Treasury an extra dollar for each gallon of gas that you waste.

btw, McCain surrenders:
