It's true that in many cities, our politicians have designed mass transit so that it's completely impractical for many of us. (Did they do this on purpose?) That means that many of us have to drive to work.
However, we do have the option of not driving on weekends. (more beneath the fold.)
We should all just make a pact to NOT drive on weekends. Run your shopping errands on the way home from work. Then, on the weekends, ride your bike or walk to your kid's sporting events or to your friend's houses to socialize. Or stay at home and work on your private hobbies.
Just DON'T Drive. This is the only way we can send a message -- and at the same time we can increase our physical health so we aren't beholden to the other gougers -- the pharma companies!
What do you think?
