Affiliates linked at the bottom below the larger King Tut. DUAL SETS OF LAWS To sell cars, gas, paving, ambulance chasing, car insurance, etc., aggravated assault becomes tailgating. Last clear chance, but for the needs of the car & oil cos., insurance rental cos., car dealers, car body shops, insurance salesmen, etc. wouldn't exist--it would still be murder culpability offsetting some negligence. Licensing of recent immigrants who've never driven or taken driving lessons, senile persons, etc. HUMAN GENETIC VARIATION Environmental (Everything impacts variation.) PBS(Joint Nova/Frontline Special:) Bradley/Keeling, carbon dioxide content of Earth's atmosphere relatively unchanged 'till steady climb, current human generation. --lungs, histology... Driving Skills SOCIAL Businessmen employed by many Japanese cos. are paid "hardship pay" for working in the U.S. in large part citing our difficult transportation environment (rough/tumble car culture). Our children grow watching alternating car dealer and ambulance-chaser spots thinking that's normal, sensible, intelligent!? Cars the fundamental American phallic symbol. (links below) Gridlock stress a common complaint/marital pressures (from dinner parties incl. marital counselor-friend) HISTORY At original Earth Day demonstrating youngsters told their skeptical parents that absent a return of meaningful rapid transit, they would someday be either shut-ins or dangerous drivers. That has proven true. National City Line, affiliated with Yellow Coach, in turn controlled by Geyhound Line, at the time it controlled by General Motors, first acquired, then ripped out trolley lines and torched trolley cars ubiquitously in the U.S. In 1932, Alfred Sloan (GM Chmn.) created the National Highway Users Conference, an alliance of tire, oil, car, etc. co.'s to benefit through cooperative action. credits: "Taken for a Ride," PBS (Alleged:) Perez worked for U.S. oil; became Venezuela's first oil minister; he created OPEC; was alternately oil minister and President of Venezuela; and, he's recently been chairman of OPEC. ENVIRONMENTAL One cannot see the beautiful mountains along California's coast even during a "good-air-quality" day, EXCEPT RIGHT AFTER A RAIN. Satellites verify greenhouse-gas effects--Comparisons of data obtained from instruments that orbited Earth more than 25 years apart provide direct evidence that the planet's greenhouse effect increased significantly between 1970 and 1997. PSYCHOLOGICAL Buckminster Fuller launched clinical psychology with the observation that putting too many mice in a cage, the mothers begin to eat their young. The lalk of meaningful mass transit creates paranoia generally (not the severe, homicidal? paranoia represented by road rage. ECONOMICS Car cultures are self-defeating in the most immediate ways. Intrinsic inefficiency yields inability to maintain roads, even the cars. The U.S. has never been free from recession and had a balanced budget absent a healthy mass transit system and/or low oil prices. We imported 33% of our oil during the '79 oil embargo. Today the figure's 55% fast approaching 60% due to the maturity of the really important domestic oil producing provinces. When the bear market in oil finally ends (historically overdue--now 20 years old), should oil simply test the '79 per-barrel price high, the domestic import bill for oil alone (just imports, just oil) will rise approximately $ 9 Billion per month. That is, the total oil import bill will approximately be over $12 Billion per month. Being a consummate car culture, high fuel prices will bring recession/the Fed hostage to the imports (qty) X high price, the U.S. budget a domino after the import debt. HIGHER int. rates will defend the dollar. (also, State Dept. hostage to 55% import vs. 33%, '73--next oil embargo will have tremendous clout) Ecuador's departure from OPEC left it 100% politicized, save Venezuela, but it one of the 2 FOUNDING members. There are a million car accident-caused injuries annually. It costs about $1 per passenger-mile to own & operate a car in the U.S. vs. .05/rapid transit (X trillions of miles annually). 70% to 90% of police man-hours are lost to traffic control, depending on the jurisdiction. '30's depression occurred during rapid increase in car dependence combined with initial growth phase, price of gasoline; U.S. never enjoyed balanced budget (Federal or trade) AND prosperity absent cheap energy. basis of Ravi Batra's findings (only depression-correlating variable--concentration of wealth) Though "downstream," 1/3 fueling stations vs. '73 will create far greater psychlgcl impact during crisis. The car culture not only benefitted the likes of McDonald's (TM), but the supermarkets at the expense of the neighborhood family produce stand and grocery; thus, even the internet will never appreciably save on driving costs. The 2d week of Nov., '99 Saddam proved singularly able to force up oil's price. THE 2d WEEK OF FEB., '00, SADDAM BOOSTED OIL'S PRICE OVER $30/BBL WITH A 10% IRAQI PRODN CUTBACK. OPEC back in the driver's seat and Saddam vying to make the Saudis look like U.S. puppets. Using the oil production weapon appeals to the angry inadequates--but the inadequacies are a by-product of trying to increase population by instilling mascucline insecurities (making straight men afraid of being wrongly ferreted out as gay--linked below). N-E-W: "Economides: US gas price spikes expected:" BR> (combined, with no mass transit, high imports, down goes the dollar , and, concomitantly, up go the interest rates) SELF-DEFEATING unchecked, can't get from point A to point B; obviously economically; and, concomitantly, in economic inability even to properly maintain roads causes own drunkenness causes deafness (music blared to cope) simple-mindedness directly engendered causing dumb driving(alternating car dealer/ambulance chasing commercials; notion car culture makes sense, etc.;) for example, tailgators in U.S.-made cars are on their way toward removing their own noses--their air bags deploy on 8 mph impact Also, as to simple-mindedness, note Al Bundy's (C) early-70's Plymouth Duster was supposed to be a "wieniemobile." That car, and its sister, the Dodge Dart, were under 2 tons, apx. 250 hp (rockets). The "performance cars" people shell out for today are the soapboxes mandated by post-'79 embargo economics. The SUV's, at apx. 13 mpg vs. the 25 the average American was working with, are simply the naive blow-off of cheap energy, the aftermath of the overreaction to OPEC's initial success. "No-fault" insurance is simply an attempt to make an uneconomic system sustainable. Inflexibility of transportation, many people planning trips, shopping around gridlock MULTI-DISCIPLINARY Cars never were the least bit practical in snow. In a car culture such as in most of the U.S., one doesn't know if he/she will have transportation tomorrow. ADAPTING TO CAR CULTURES Flexibility is Survivability FOOD Fast food's major growth is surely rooted in the car culture. Alternatives Munch in the car with such things as pkgd pre-cut/washed carrots, etc. Brown bag. With dehydrated versions of many foods, such as powdered soy milk, etc., you just need a source of water. GENETIC MAKE-UP COMPENSATION Assuming you need help adapting or you wouldn't be reading this, chances are the car culture is moving human genetic variation disfavorably to you (poor driving skills, poor ability to take the smog, impatience at red lights, etc.) Impatience Presented matter-of-factly/NOT ADVICE OR A RECOMMENDATION! may be violative of others' rights (common law) or even the "back code" of your jurisdiction's Motor Vehicle Code, but some folks read at stop lights awaiting a signal to go again from a neighboring car; noteworthy: surely less distracting to self or others than drivers' use of cell phones, though using cell phones while driving WILL LIKELY FACE (NUMEROUS--QUITE POSSIBLY SUCCESSFUL) negligence (common law) tests CIRCLING FOR PARKING? Stop in quiet part of parking lot aisle, shut off engine, and getr some work done being vigilant to quickly having to move and the eventual availability of a space. Later, sell your parking space for $1 COMMENTS BASED ON ACTUAL EXPERIENCE, RIDING THE BUS-- WIFE'S CAR TOTALED/NOT BUYING 'TILL 2000 YEAR (Site calls for MEANINGFUL mass transit, not what exists today.) (RFK: "Some men see things as they are and ask "Why," I see things the way they are and ask "Why not.") Avoiding the bus is a status-related LIMITATION** (see linked associates for sociobiologic take.) As such, even bus service would "fly" if only more well-to-do people would use it. WORLD'S FIRST CONTEMPORANEOUS INTERACTIVE INTERNET CASE STUDY (message board coming) < SAN DIEGO'S "MERGE" SELECTED I'm attempting to involve Amtrak and other agencies. Off-hand, realize: widening scenic coastal bridges compensating for inadequate transportation elsewhere accomplishes NOTHING absent the leveling of the communities above/below those bridges. alleged: car culture creepies & cronies causing collapse of transportation in: Coastal San Diego County. In particular, I-5/56 cloverleaf created to force 56' own completion, and, in such as way as to preclude the running of a track down the median of 5. Said track in turn would have obviated the placing of a track on the Coastal Bluff. It's felt the project can be RE-DONE the right way if necessary (perhaps a track can still be laid/within along the fwy. Seeking Response & Input, Builders, Amtrak & Agencies Some e-mail has indicated the I-56 was in fact desparately needed. (So far, my own tentative conclusion: not all builders/planners had a fake mental block anti- rapid transit. Though 56 may be indispensible, as certain self-described disinterested persons have said, the project likely should be altered.) Self-Respect is Happiness Compassion Incorporates Self-Assurance |
