We used to live in the Garden of Eden, but now we live
in an ASPHALT JUNGLE!
We used to live in the Garden of Eden, but now we live
in an ASPHALT JUNGLE!
The planet Earth is rapidly being paved over with asphalt. The transportation
system supported and subsidized by our government(s),
and defended at all costs by the industries that profit from it,
is proving to be unworkable as our population rapidly expands.
That system (the highway/automobile system) is killing us. Directly; 42,000
people were killed by automobiles in the United States last year, and indirectly;
pollution from automobiles is strangling our planet. Attempted murder (speeding,
tailgating, stoplight running- aggressive driving) has become commonplace,
and the automobile industry is encouraging this illegal behavior
in it's advertising. Our government, and our law enforcement officials
are unwilling, or unable, to go against the industry to counteract this
dangerous trend and protect the citizens- men, women, and children, who
must depend on this system for basic transportation. And instead of spending
our tax dollars on safer, cleaner systems of transportation like rail,
our government officials continue to funnel hundreds of billions of our
tax dollars annually into the building of the tracks (roads and highways)
that the industries ( auto, oil, road building, and etc.) need and lobby
for. It is time for a revolution. If you agree , then help spread the word.
Write the president, vice-president, the first lady, your congresspersons,
your state and local governmental and law enforcement agencies and officials,
national and local newspapers, television and radio stations. Do it here,
do it now, Do it on the web.
