...You Ride With Bin Laden: What the Government SHOULD be telling Us to Help Fight the War on Terrorism"
Always blaming someone else but the ones that can change things for the better. If they wanted PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, everybody would be riding it, provided they made an issue out of it AND raised the price of gas high enough.
For example they could start with this...
"In World War II, there was a very famous poster of a man driving a car with a shadow of Adolph Hitler in the pbuttenger seat. The caption was "When you ride ALONE you ride with Hitler! Join a Car-Sharing Club TODAY!" This was an appeal to save gasoline for the war effort and that every gallon of gasoline used was one less that could be used to fight the war. Maher makes the very valid point that it is just as true today as it was during World War II. The reason that American forces are fighting in the Middle East is because there is oil there and the Western nations need it to run their economies. If there was no oil or no need for it, hundreds of billions of dollars could be saved and we could care less what happens there. If even simple, relatively painless fuel economies were enacted, a large amount of that dependence could be eliminated."
