“We are, most of us, paying far more for transportation than we can truly afford. And more and more of us are starting to realize it.”

“The worst effects of breathing polluted air are experienced where it is densest: in traffic. Spending time on and near highways, freeways, and other busy roads is terrible for your health. How near is a question that is still being studied, but researchers believe that the effects are worst within either a fifth or a third of a mile. People in cars or buses are exposed to considerably more air pollution, perhaps because of, rather than despite, being in a closed space. People walking and bicycling on or next to roads breathe more air, but inhale somewhat less pollution; and cyclists have been found to have even less risk if they are on paths that are separated from the road.”

“Teen drivers are more dangerous even than drivers in their eighties. And safety education, including showing teens gory movies of car crashes, has little effect.”

“И да будет ведо­мо тем, у кого в обы­чае вос­тор­гать­ся недоз­во­лен­ной дер­зо­стью по отно­ше­нию к наде­лен­ным вер­хов­ною вла­стью, что и при дур­ных прин­цеп­сах могут суще­ст­во­вать выдаю­щи­е­ся мужи и что послу­ша­ние и скром­ность, если они соче­та­ют­ся с трудо­лю­би­ем и энер­ги­ей, достой­ны не мень­шей сла­вы, чем та, кото­рую мно­гие снис­ка­ли реши­тель­но­стью сво­его поведе­ния и сво­ею впе­чат­ля­ю­щей, но бес­по­лез­ной для государ­ства смер­тью.”
