Not to flame you, but I assume and correct me if I'm wrong: a) your under 50 and in good health. b) your not on welfare/social security/retirement. My point: In most places in the USA is neccessary especially if you are elderly you need a car. I've lived in Europe and I think America really needs a good Public Transportation System. We're too dependent on the car (SOHIO forgive me :-)). BTW I also ride the bus to work and don't own a car. -- rob robertson decvax!cwruecmp!nitrex!rob.UUCP (216) 791-0922 cbosgd!nitrex!rob.UUCP nitrex!rob@case.CSNET nitrex!rob%case@csnet-relay.ARPA
