Basically "I Have a Dream" but in a post


So the auto industry is going down the tubes a little.

Let me take this time to re-predict that by 2010 every US citizen will have an electric scooter and a bus pass.

Those of use who have had our licenses revoked for attempted vehicular manslaughter know that cars are amazing, convenient and excellent places to live temporarily, but we can live without them.
And learn some important things along the way.

Like say one day it's 78 and sunny and you're on the West Side Highway on your electric scooter heading at 20 mph to meet Ted Greenberg. And you're feeling very happy, as though life might actually be pretty good.

And just then, at a red light, a hot 23 year old girl in a Jetta looks at you, makes what you interpret to be a dismissive gross face. Which is why you jump off your electric scooter and knock on her window and ask her why she is judging you she screams and drives away. And then you get hit by a cab.

You are very upset for 3 years but then eventually you get a sense that soon you will meet someone who isn't a superficial bitch. That's what I mean about hope.

The End.

Oh wait. I think there's more. But what I'm saying is, no need to worry about how we all have no money and are going to have to sell our bodies for scrambled eggs.
