Oh come on now. You're now ignoring my point in favor of more government action masked as market activity. Stop it.

Stop what?!? I have no idea what you're trying to convey. Are you saying there were no Sundown laws before the automobile? That no one was racist except in the Civil War?

I suppose if we want to go back to a pre-oil age, sure. That would be really, really, really dumb, though.

Or inevitable. We'll see. I for one would like the gadgets and gizmos I have come to love to still work when we get there. We can, if we "use the progress we've made" to bridge the two eras.

We can't, though, make that bridge successful if we don't plan for the inevitable. Continuing consumption acceleration as usual is simply out of the question, not if you want the transition to be un-sucky.
