Honestly I don't think we need to give up our cars 100%. There are things that I absolutely need my car for very often. I can't transport my sports gear via public transportation. I can't transport my RC Airplanes via public transport...so...I must always have something right?

Well - I'd be happy to have something that didn't require or at least didn't require as much fossil fuels.

Also - I don't think ANYONE is asking ANYONE to give up their cars 100% - but taking the bus is more liberating than most folks realize.
