When I lived in Markham I would walk everywhere. I enjoyed it, because I could take short cuts and there were beautiful open parks everywhere. For some reason though, when I walked beside traffic I felt like an asshole. People would yell shit out their windows at me, and it occurs to me that there is a sense of supiriority that comes with traveling in a big hunk of vibrating metal. People feel secure and indipendant in their cars and it makes me wonder if they are treating their cars the same way they treat fashionable clothing as if they wouldn't have an identity without it.
I mean, what the fuck? They were told before hand parking would be a problem and if their not willing to deal with the alternatives, tough shit. I used to carpool with people, and you know what you do when you want to be alone? Close your eyes!!! When you do that, it means "Leave me alone, I'm by myself right now."
