Peeky, its called a "race to the bottom", and contrary to what you seem to believe, this isn't the kind of race you can win.
He got no grandkids, that's EXACTLY the kind of race he can win. By the way Peeker1, what's up with that?
Oh he's winning all right. Winning like Charlie Sheen.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('The Practician', ' ')because dependency isn't any less serious a problem than addiction.
Its certainly every bit as serious, but it is different, and any approach to fixing it will be quite different. You can't make oil and gasoline use less desirable to use and hope for success, because their use isn't based upon desire. You have to change the reason for the dependency to have a hope of success, and in this case, that would imply completely changing our transportation infrastructure.
Which can't happen.
Which means not only acknowledging the dependence, but also accepting that it will be with us till we drop.
Yes we are, as we are,
And so shall we remain,
Until the end.
