Our dysfunctional love affair with cars is actually an abusive relationship:
o They keep us from being healthy by locking us up inside, unable to move around, and preventing us from directly communicating with other humans outside – we suffer in silence..
o Every day, they threaten to hurt, maim or kill us unless we behave the way they want us to….
o They take our money using all kinds of excuses and never give it back
o They are loud and obnoxious, making lots of aggressive noises and movements while also annoying the neighbors.
o They act out their bullying behaviors such as sneaking up and dangerously following their intended victims or use threatening motions such as closely passing by or cutting you off suddenly.
o They block you in, preventing you from moving about freely, sometimes even being forced to just sit there – staring you down….
o They’re alcoholics, incessantly drinking ethanol laced gas while forcing others to breath their resulting car farts …..yuck…
