Reply #33: There is no one in the world who owns a car [View All]

who can't, in some way, do without some of their driving. Your use of the phrase "my choice to drive" proves that at least some of yours is indeed a choice and not a necessity. Completely stopping all driving would be very difficult for most of us, although IMO the author was using a logical extreme to make the point that without demand there is no offshore drilling. And if you read the article you may have noticed the author has never owned a car, so he's walking the walk.

No bullying or manipulating, because there's no incentive - I have nothing to gain besides making a point.

Regarding using "guilt trip" as a verb: we both know the only person who can make you feel guilty, who can decide whether your priorities are misplaced, is you. I'm just making the observation and it's an accurate one, that if we all were to adopt your way of thinking - that all of our own driving is necessary - then as a society we're fucked.
