what lack of choice? we have public transportation that goes largely unused. we have car pool lanes that empty... no one wants to walk. no one wants to ride a bike etc.
no one buys a new Escalade or any of the other large SUV's that get 9 miles to the gallon because they don't have a choice. They don't care.
its not that i don't understand your argument/discussion... i think that it is always one sided and ignores consumers. everything isn't a conspiracy. obviously major auto manufacturers, oil companies and even government have interests... but the American people are the ones buying the most inefficient cars on the planet by CHOICE. Manufuactes don't dictate tastes any more than Cosmopolitan Magazine shapes anyones opinion about what a cute girl is.
