if you haven't seen it, "the story of stuff" is a neat little animated

It's funny how people think those who cycle for transport are either
superhuman or crazy, as if you can't actually get somewhere that you
need to go on a bicycle.

Car-free isn't for me, but I really enjoy car-lite.

I sent it to a friend... he owns an SUV.

He wasn't overly happy.

I then explained that thoughtless use of a vehicle is the point, not
ALL autos [or SUV's], and their drivers.

He felt better, and agreed it was interesting and compelling.

I shouldn't have sent it to him.

I guess.

Awesome video. I've shown this to a handful of people and they said
they could related.

Well, the video does make one think.  And it does make me question
some fundamental values I hold dear (which is very good).

That is a very inspirational video. I'm glad there are people out
there who help us focus on the right way to live. Of course I am of
like mind but it helps reinforce the lifestyle nontheless. Perhaps all
of our's goal for tomorrow should be to inspire someone else in this
same way.

Thanks for posting that. I enjoyed it. I've never owned a car either.
I mentioned to a friend of my wife's parents that I never owned a car,
never had a license and he responded by saying "Are you even
American?" I took that as a compliment.
