Americans Sick and Tired of Motorized Transportation, Transportation Secretary Says

Subject: txt libs othr bdd fnn sclm bbro - engry grn -
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said Friday that Americans are “tired” of motorized transportation and its attendant hassles, and instead are looking for other options such as bicycle lanes and walking paths, which the government will add to its infrastructure.

“People are sick of being stuck in traffic, stuck in their automobiles, and we want to help communities and neighborhoods that want more walking paths or biking paths—more transit,”

LaHood told CNSNews.com...

[Demonstrably untrue: one need only look at the vast majority of Americans that choose to drive each day, despite the war being waged against them leading to ever greater traffic through a willful refusal to build the additional lane-miles our growing populace requires.

Driving is the best form of transportation: personal, comfortable, take your junk with you {or pick it up from the stor} - all 24/7, door(s) to door(s).

A French national friend told me years ago that Europeans envy our primary transportation and infrastructure (highways, parking lots et al) being based on the automobile - most of them are 'stuck' {his word} using public transportation because their governments have made auto ownership so expensive...

I.e., don't buy a word of the leftest propaganda on this; we've absolutely no reason to apologize for our love of cars and the freedom they bring {or our 70-degree thermostats).]
