These "cars" remind Eric Peters of Huxley's "Brave New World"-- but they kind of sound more to me like the rooms with the TV walls in Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451". Either way, talk about creepy. And this "future" isn't some kind of hoax either-- major "car" company executives, from the CEOs down, are leading massive re-branding efforts for their companies, as "mobility providers".

I spent the entire Father's Day weekend at the bug out house with H and D. Take a look at these statistics for kids raised in father-less households. Then remember that 72% of black kids are raised in such homes. Then correlate that with percentages of violent crimes committed by black youths, including gang-related hand gun homicide rates in places like Chicago. Then go to any inner city and ask the mothers why they had kids out of wedlock: "to maximize welfare payments." A lot of America's social ills can be traced directly back to the welfare state apparatus.

Tying in the "car" topic to this past weekend, we used wifey's WRX to go back and forth. On the way there, there is a perfect left-hander coming off of a road with a high speed limit. I asked H and D, "want to take a corner fast?", to which they shouted "yeah!" The car swung for me in a beautiful arc from the first road to the next, tires chirping, where I caught the reverse-weight transfer perfectly exiting the corner. The WRX's design makes such maneuvers easy! Then on the way back, I positively flew down the curved entrance ramp onto the free way, turbo whistling away as I took the best line. To think that people want to eliminate these kinds of experiences-- the joy of a performance-oriented automobile-- is very sad.
