Much of the rest of the world has more reasonable public transportation than we do. The rail system in Europe is outstanding.

Latin American countries possess large fleets of funky old buses which usually can get you to your destination unless you have a head-on with a farm cart.

I don't know about you Aussies except that you tend to have vast spaces to cover - just like we do. Can a person get by reasonably without a car in a smaller Australian town? So how DO you guys do it?

Re Peak Oil: I think most folks have at least heard of this concept. I am quite in agreement with you on that subject. We need to be doing more in regard to alternative energy resources. I hope the US wakes up to reality before lack of oil flushes us down the old poop shoot.
