We are a -really- lazy culture full of really lazy people.

While I completely understand what you are saying....I would say that a lot of people that have cars have them because they could not make a living without them. I have an SUV...I HAVE to have a big vehicle for deliveries at one job, hauling tools for a second job, and to haul DJing equipment for a third job that I pick up extra shifts on when I can...let alone going to school. (god knows I can't be tardy or late for that because the public transportation stops 10 blocks from the school's front door...quite a jog really)

I would love to have public transportation of some sort where I live, but I would spend a majority of my day waiting between busses and running from one block to another because the system sucks so bad here.

I am also sure people wouldn't want to have to wait for me to load/unload all of my shit onto the bus every day....wouldn't that be a sight!?

Sometimes it is not a lazy decision, but one of necessity.

As far as boycotting BP....nope, not doing it for the simple reason that Linus stated above. The employees there are just trying to get by and make a living on minimum wage like a lot of us...it's not THEIR fault. Heads need to roll at BP...things need to happen on the big stage, not at the little stations.
