If people consumed at more reasonable levels (and not just in the car arena) and distribution was not so economically and politically controlled, Mother Earth could support all her children in a very satisfying comfortable life-style. 90% of the world's people will never even drive a car, much less a resource-intensive 4x4. It is not fair. It is not sustainable. And sorry to say, Bobert, this IS the last me generation. Humanity will not survive into the next century. Or at least, it will be a humanity much changed in profound ways that we cannot even contemplate at the moment in our limited thinking and approach.
