We all love our cars!! I was surprised to find they the world champion killers. In many various way!! you know I've more on cars in my life than any other commodity! I was surprised to discover they the champion of all killers. More than all the wars or shootings, or disease! I'm 81 now and just discovering all this. If I were a young man, I would never buy a car; sure would like some of the money back that I spent on 28 different cars!! $723,000, sure would be nice to have some that for my retirement. Heck we are doing OK now; down here in Brazil. The cost of living is about 1/5 of the cost of living in the US; our Social Sec and my little retirement check is doing OK so far!!

Pollutants are more dangerous than the use of oxygen. Oxygen is renewable as long as we don't cover the whole world with concrete!
Car accidents are the immediate killers.

The way cars kill people is ACCIDENTS. More people die in automobile accidents than in all the wars. That is why there are billions of dollars being spent on seat belts, airbags, anti lock brakes, and other safety improvements. The pollution emitted is much less dangerous, and the oxygen used is no problem at all; not having caused a single death.

Sure but you missed out on the freedom of driving on the open road in a convertible, listening to the radio, and visiting the worlds largest ball of yarn.
