Re: Car Culture...
Interesting... 25 years ago I took notice of a progressive middle school text book which placed the ownership of an automobile as "early automobile", "automobile" and "late automobile".
The context of the period then was "late Automobile" (1990) and the book predicted a social mores shift away from the automobile that would parallel "peak oil".
After reading this recent tripe from the WP I am left to conclude that the entire story would not have run at all except that it was a slow news weekend.
The economy picks up again and the car culture will follow as it has in the past.
