I have said, repeatedly, that I do not think that cars are the root of all evil. I've had, what, a total of 5 or 6 exchanges with you and yet you feel you know enough about me to say that you know that I secretly think they are the root of all evil.

And this is coming from a person who complained about "not categorizing someone based on 2 sentences" they wrote.

Now THAT'S pretty irritating. Try actually responding to what people say instead of knocking down strawman arguments and making a hypocrite of yourself.

You've put in here a number of times that you think the car and the interstate highway system it created are destroying the classic town concept that you love oh so much. I have shown that the initial destruction of small towns started when the railroad didn't go to them all and has recently accelerated because the economy has changed, especially in the root area of providing raw materials and harvesting food which is what small towns did. They have no money coming in because they have nothing to sell to people other than each other and small economies can't survive that way (because they'll need supplies from the outside world, that sends money out, if they can't send enough goods out to get at least that much money back the town will starve).

Now refute it. This is the third time I've put this forth and the only thing I've heard from you since the first one is that I'm a car lover that doesn't read what you write.
