My 20 year old female cousin never took driver’s ed and doesn’t even have a learner’s permit. As far as she’s concerned, she can check bus schedules on her iPhone and stay in touch with friends through Facebook and Skype.

When I was 16, my friends and I would spent Friday nights trolling the mall, ice skating, going out for ice cream and heading down to the beach to drive the strip. Some of had beepers and would hit up pay phones if we needed to make a call (this was just 15 years ago, mind you). Society is on its ear.

When I was 16 we had horses, unless you were rich and your parents could afford a Model T (which you never got to drive). Then WW I cane along followed by prohibition.

This according to my kids.

Some young people today do not have anything beyond a cyber social life. Why would they need cars to be with their friends and entertain themselves away from the cell phone and computer?

Through global warming watermelonism liberals have found a way to make these unsociable nerds into cutting edge “yutes.” Liberals ruined their normal heterosexual development with the “hip” hooking up slut culture, too.

Like the hippies before them, they will figure out they have been used and screwed with illusion. It will probably begin with the race baiters unleashing the black racist thugs on them as they ride the bus.

Try that in Pittsburgh and the joke will be on you. Our transit system is rapidly disappearing, the entire budget increasingly going to union hacks who retire at age 52. Fast Eddie Rendell's plan to slap toll booths on I-80 and make all the rest of you pay for them blew up in his face, and they have no other plan. So you'll have a very long wait for a bus in Pittsburgh.
