I think what the poster wanted to say is that cars are abused, and just like any other abuse or addiction, it should be regulated.
But USA have a problem regulating dangerous stuff: gas, cars and guns.
There's a climate change coming and people in USA really are still debating if it's a "personal freedom" issue?
We are 7 billion, they are 300 millions, I think it's time they understand what good citizenship means...
