Re: Drop the Price of Gasoline!

Wrong! The low price of gasoline pays for our sprawl, our lack of cities
(excepting the few great ones built before the proliferation of the car),
our pollution, our downtowns of parking with a few buildings in between,
our attitudes about place, our aesthetic about the physical environment. I
for one, will buy gasoline tomorrow and will even fill up the lawnmower.
