the car and the interstate highway system

The car was another fine idea, but it has, simply put, overtaken our lives. In America we are TOTALLY controlled by the automobile. Try surviving without one, unless you live in a great metropolis like New York, Chicago, Portland, San Fransisco, etc. Just try it-- it's nearly impossible! We have over-used a good idea-- so much so that we are now trapped in a viscious cycle by it. Our communities erode because of our ease of mobility, and the environment degrades as a result of the by-products of the technology we've become dependent upon.
