[ www.livejournal.com ] "Preparing my studio this week for new recordings, I rediscovered a lost truth: men are only truly happy when having sex or playing with little electrical boxes, and most happy when the two activities can be combined. (I exclude those men who like sports and wars and hunting and money and stuff like that. They're some kind of troglodyte sub-species, trapped in a Plato's cave of euphemism and metaphor.)" |

"We need to draw people's attention to the toxicity of cars. We need to counter all the careless car-love, all the slick advertising, and make the idea that cars are toxic thinkable and sayable. I'll say it right here. Cars are ugly. I hate them. I hate the look of them, the politics of them, the noise they make, their smell. I'd be delighted to see more cars in cities getting scratched, defaced, daubed with slogans, burned out. Cars deserve public vituperation much more than terrorists do. Cars are an idea that has had its time. They're past their sell-by date and they're damaging the world and the things I love. A car cannot be cool. The world would be better off without cars. I will vote for people who are anti-car (unless they're Nader and my vote just helps an oil president). I want politicians to be proposing car-free cities, car-free days and car-free weeks, and eventually car-free nations and car-free years. I want to see Barcelona ban the carrida the way it has just banned the corrida. I want car bans to expand at the rate that smoking bans are currently expanding. I want to hear rhetoric about cars that matches rhetoric about terrorists. I want to see a big statue of Henry Ford toppled, to massive applause from freedom-loving people all over the world." |

 Coolness: 685890 | I want to see where your going to get all the money to replace travel. Planes use gas. So do boats. They're also destroying the environment just as much, but you aren't complaining about them because you are following the trend of bitching about commercialy popular things because you probably "hate" capitalism. Your ideas are too narrow to ever be taken as anything more than a utopian pot-smoke inspired dream.
You want to get rid of cars, then propose a solution to them. Metro/trains going everywhere? Those cost more to build than cars. And, since, as I pointed out, cars are NOT the only thing poluting our environment with the use of fosil fules, how are you going to replace planes and boats? Or do we just have to start living like we were in the 1600s again? Let's get rid of plumbing and electricity while we're at it and read by candle-light, piss in the streets and bathe once a year. |

| Coolness: 71735 | read the article here:
[ www.livejournal.com ] its bascially saying cars are worse terrorists than the "terrorist threat" "I want to hear about the complete separation of cars from cities. I want to see proposals from architecture students to put cars in underground tubes and tunnels. I want car drivers to be troglodytes. I want to see car drivers paying the actual price their cars cost the world, not just the cost of the metal and the gas. I want computers to take over all the functions of driving, not just parking, and I want cars to evolve into public spaces. For instance, when cars are snarled in tailbacks, I want little doors between their noses and tails to open automatically, turning the rows of private cars into a trainlike public space with a corridor. I want to see people getting up from their car seats, stretching, and walking up and down that corridor, looking at other people, buying a cup of green tea from a trolley." |

| Coolness: 685890 | Man, have you READ any of what you posted? All those options are stupid and COMPLETELY un-realistic. Cars "merging" into tunnels? That takes apart the whole concept of having a car. And the thing about putting all the drivers in tunnels like troglodytes? Man, that's nice. It's great to see that humans are "evolving" into beings who now not only hate others because of the color of their skin, the language they speak, their sexual orientation, their religious beliefs, their musical tastes and the clothes their wearing, YOUR proposing that we also discriminate and hate bassed on a NEED some people have for a specific mode of transportation?
It's utopian idealist bullshit, written by someone who also thinks we should worship nature, grow our own vegetables and wear non-synthetic clothing and shoes with no leather. |

| Coolness: 685890 | What, is it "subliminal" anti-capitalist propaganda? Or maybe a "subliminal" protest on the war on iraq by making a utopian society so that oil not be needed anymore? |
