Welcome to 1999

I just saw a story on the evening news on the hot new tiny little cars that are just now available here in the USA. But they are not new. I was in Amsterdam, Holland in 1999 and those cars were already in service. Why did it take so long for them to get to the USA? Because we want BIG BIG BIG cars. The Hummer was our choice. Americans prefer status symbols to environmental sensability. And now we all pay with higher gas prices and possibly irriversable environmental damage.

When will Americans learn?
