AS, We need to learn from the Europeans on public transport and environmentalism, the Japanese on efficient auto-making, the Brazilians on getting off oil and the Canadians on health care. All are leaving us behind in the dust.

You sound like a car commercial.

Pick-n-choose.

RE:"Europe charges high gas taxes for several reasons."

Norway is the richest country in the world. They have lots of Oil. Gas costs $6.27 a gallon. So much for your argument.
