The worrying thing is that that's pretty close to what some round here seem to want. Unbelievable though it seems, some loonies do at least want to see all private powered transport banned. And such people are so bloody-minded that even if it were conclusively demonstrated to them that banning cars would result in *all* of us (including them) being considerably worse off, that wouldn't stop them from wanting it...it's a particularly astonishing case of cutting off one's nose to spite one's face.
