James Kunstler, the renowned author of the book, The Long Emergency, among others, has an article out that proclaims the end of activities like dirtbike riding, snowmobiling, racecar driving, and ATV use on national and state public lands is coming soon with the huge price increases that will occur for oil and gasoline. He develops a strong argument for this with the historic analogy to smoking, but he does interject some humorous overtones with his description and analyis of the South, its people, as well as other regions and peoples in the nation that have a similar culture and lifestyle. I largely agree with his conclusions, but I believe these changes will not occur for better part of a generation or more. The really entertaining part of the article is all the wacky and irate comments published following the article.*****
