In effect, the mass public transport thing seemed everything but evil to me too.
It's ages we know that efficient, fast, sure, eco-friendly mass transit can kill the pollution, greatly help the environment and raise the quality of life - sorry, employees of car factories, but we have to save our lungs, and mass transits require lots of employees anyway (hey, soon there will be the
magnetic levitation bus - I mean, how cool would be to drive that one??
).
You can make an argument about how terribly communist is to turn lots of "free market companies" jobs into state-owned companies ones, and that the American Dream is the freedom of one's own muscle car or monster truck or Canyonero (Simpson ref. of course
)... but the truth is that we all fear what can happen in 100 years if we don't stop pollution and global warming now.
