You can certainly live someplace where you use far less fossil fuel than you do today. In fact I'd suggest that Adam Smith's invisible hand will force you to do so, whining all the way.

You wanted to know what a liberal elitist is?? Well, it's someone who would write exactly what you did above.

What is a "Joe Six Packs"? Why do you say they make poor decisions? Where have they blamed people who have supposedly made better decisions than them?

I have an SUV, live 38 miles from my work and absolutely love my commute from my suburban home and wouldn't trade this for the world.

I wonder why so many people are leaving the cities and flocking to suburbia?

'Joe Six Pack' is often a derogatory phrase for a blue collar worker who is lazy and just goes home and opens up his six pack of beer. People tend to stereotype all blue collar and poor people into the 'Joe Six Pack' stereotype when it is often untrue.

I dunno, but I'll gladly buy their condos after they move out.
