Why do they do such silly things?

[Ranger]

they do it because they are totally divorced from the natural world and it's very real dangers.they actually believe all the marketing bollocks from the car industry and that they are perfectly safe in their little metal and glass boxes (see 'em all the time by the side of the motorway in totally inappropriate clothing for the weather conditions). i get really pissed off when i see adverts that subliminally infer that you are a rubbish parent unless you constantly ferry your children around their car. in a perverse way, i sometimes look forward to a peak oil/emp sitx just to see the average person struggling with having to walk further than the end of their drive
