Whatever happened to car pools???? That way, the driver could drive, without slowing down traffic, there would be less cars on the road, the others could eat their burgers, brush their teeth, talks on their cell phones. Downside would be there would be less interesting spectacles to observe by those not otherwise occupied, as drivers would no longer be required to juggle, car commands, ice cream sundae, cellphone and watch other drivers
one problem is that there are no carpool lanes -- which intensify the incentive to pool -- on my commuting route (Pacific Coast Highway). More fundamentally, the individual commuting schedules of different individuals is very hard to coordinate, especially in a spread-out city like L.A. On top of that, there's a very common attitude of "My car is my castle" (rampant individualism). -- Jim Devine / "To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole." -- Nuremberg Tribunal
