A smith >> However, the way this issue is presented here, it's more of a crusade against drivers than anything else.

I'd suggest that the 'crusade against drivers' you refer to is a figment of the imagination of the talk radio reactionaries. We're talking here about what is essentially a minute change to a mode of travel that we have allowed to become so overwhelmingly dominant.

Now when we finally have realized that such domination isn't completely healthy for our quality of life and for our economic growth, and seek to begin the process of changing things a bit, the newspapers (dependent on advertising from the auto and homebuilding industries) all scream about a supposed "War on the Car!".

You've bought in to their propaganda hook, line and sinker.
