I think everyone in the world would be right to tell the US to come up with a Marshall-type plan to get Americans to build a mass transit infrastructure before the planet is dead.

Millions and millions and millions of cars, almost every one of them with but one person in them, driving to and fro to work in the US day after day, year after year, decade after decade.

It all adds up to a lot of things--American obesity, wars for oil, exploitation of the world's natural resources to make unsustainably produced products that are mostly useless junk, which gets thrown away into overflowing landfills that contaminate our water and soil...

It's great to be an American.
