I really dislike cars, and driving in general. Now, the technology of the World Wide Web allows me to complain to the entire world. So bear with me as I detail my reasons…

Driving is wasting time-I don’t learn anything. I won’t be a better person when I get in a car.

Sitting in a car is bad for you. Human bodies need to move, and poorly designed car seats only make our bodies hurt more.

Driving demands all your attention. Any small diversion (分散)of attention, like changing the radio station or yawning (打哈欠), can result in death. Who wants to die for a yawn?

Cars pollute. They make walking down the street a terrible experience.

Cars take away much of my freedom. I have to feed it gas and oil regularly, etc. It seems that I’m the slave of the car. Not to mention the thousands of dollars per year to keep it running.

Have you ever noticed the huge part of society’s resources that goes to service the car industry? Look at the number of car commercials on TV and on the radio. Look at the vast amount of land space given to gas stations, repair shops, roads, parking lots, etc. Look at the huge amount of time people spend driving and serving their cars.

__________________. Whenever someone dies in a plane crash, there’s a huge public outcry(大声疾呼) for the FAA (联邦航运局) to spend millions of dollars pouring over regulations, investigation, etc. Yet every year 40,000 people die in car crashes in the US alone! And no one seems to care. What’s going on here? How have we been so completely cheated?
