From the New Urbanism list, posted on Feb. 11: Writing about the recent U.K. Guardian essay, "The US economy needs oil like a junkie needs heroin," Daniel Jennings writes: "the so-called peace activists driving to their anti-war demonstrations don't want to hear it." My own Oakland Tribune on Monday morning had a photo of a little girl from Napa marching in San Francisco. I seriously doubt her family took public transit to get to the march. If we oppose a war for oil in Iraq, then many more of us need to start showing our opposition to the U.S. Driving Everywhere culture at the root of it all.
