I figured someone would rant about how waste full we are and how we guzzle gasoline. Any takers?

Not yet but we're working on a remote control device which will allow our gas sucking SUVs to drive around polluting the enviroment and causing conjestion all without leaving the comfort of our own home.

No, but it might put back a few years the date when cars truly do outnumber "drivers"...

I notice Slowwhand hasn't responded yet. I take it he's too busy dancing at the refinery's celebration hoedown? 
But this is only the beginning. We should be able to suck the life directly out of our planet like the villains from FF7 before we call ourselves really wasteful.
