Maybe in the city. Try living somewhere that you can't ride the "Metro" or take a cab to work and we'll see what you say then. Even running a business out of your home in Nowhereville, USA..someone's gotta drive to you to give you the dough. Unless you're business is Internet based, I'd like to see you make that statement in ANY state 100 miles from a city. Travel 8 hours to the West where you have to drive 40 mins to get to a town that actually has a gas station.

I don't choose to live 35 miles from work, a good job that'll pay me for my education is 35 miles from home. Real Estate close by work?? Yeah right. There's nowhere close enough to where I live that I can walk or ride a bike. I'd like to hear that comment said to a farmer in the MidWest! Oh yeah, how they supposed to make a buck without fuel for the equiptment?? Go back to horse and plow? That's pretty efficent. You won't have enough milk and bread for the next big 1" snow storm that comes through.

The only thing I do choose, is not to live in the populous cities. Been there, done that. Too many idiots...plain and simple. I guess when you make a statement of Very few Americans, you must be talking about the ones that aren't in the cities, since we are the lesser population? Believe me when I say MANY Americans need fuel and have to drive to make a living and provide those that don't need to drive with the proper supplies to live.

Not arguing on the right vs priviledge matter, just don't comment with the blinders on. The world doesn't revolve around Metro D.C., and if it doesn't happen there then it can't be true attitude is a bit prejudiced. There is another world out there you know, and it streches beyond the beltway.

Not to Hi-Jack the thread either...Hilton is an idiot too. Gee hope I don't get in trouble for slander.
