We can tell where you're coming from - it's the same school of thought and
writing that the idiot from Brazil came from.

When you become moderately coherent, we can discuss this issue. Until then.

The average commute is 10 miles and 21 minutes. Most commutes are
suburb-to-suburb.

Again, Loomis' narrow world-view rears it's ugly head.

With the economy moving away from manufacturing (centralized) to services
(de-centralized), the majority of people now live AND work in the suburbs,
and the numbers, both percentage wise and shear numbers) are rising.

[Loomis, your emotional diatribes don't work on people that have been around
the block a few times. I'm, sure your teachers taught you that you opinion
was important, but it's not so.]

Just today the news stated that Atlanta Georgia is in a world of hurt with
the commuting situation.
They travel an average of 1 hour each way...........
this is wrong.....The average commute is 10 miles and 21 minutes. Most
commutes are
>> suburb-to-suburb.
Where do you get this from?..........You must be dreaming............
anyway, I am just wasting my breath.........
The United States is in a world of hurt when it comes to fuel consumption,
driving habits, and transportation.
Why do we have a war now going on in the middle east?
Could it be from oil?
Oh, I remember, we can use our reserves for 100 years.....we will be fine...
You said that too!
There is a glut of vehicles on the roadway, and no solutions yet to minimize
this problem.
Yes, we are trying with alternative vehicle development but it is a little
late in developing.....
The problem is here........

Anyway, I can see that nothing will help your ignorance......

(Some one must have left the door unlocked at the funny-farm - Can anyone
make sense of that incoherent mess?)

Coming from someone as apparently demented as you, I take that in a positive
fashion.
