And of the beautiful noises gone, what we've replaced them with are noise machines at every opportunity -- from sawing trees to blowing leaves about.

There is no longer any smell of clean air -- not even after a rain any more --

During this summer's heatwaves in NJ, many people couldn't use air conditioning in the cars because it was so hot. It just takes so long to cool down the car that it's not worth putting it on.
When you have to have the windows down, the odor of gasoline and oil is sickening. And the fumes and heat from the cars make it clear that we can very quickly be brought to a standstill.

ELECTRIC CARS . . . NOW!!!!
