For myself, I do appreciate the convenience of using a car whenever I want to especially when I have problems with public transit systems or when I want to travel at times where public transit is not in service, despite the added headaches to deal with that you have mentioned. I agree with the fact that it's doable if you plan your life around using public transit, for example, not going out in the middle of the night or use a taxi, living in a city where such proficient mass transit infrastructure or tight-knit community exists.<br><br>That being said, I am personally planning to lease a car at least once my first automated income generating business is fully operational. My goals involved ultra-lengthy road trips ranging from across Canada, northern and southern United States, and a continental road trip from Anchorage, Alaska, to Cape Horn, Chile. However, I'm not promoting everyone to go out to become mind-drained slaves in order to purchase a Cadillac Escalade or other gas-guzzlers or luxury, show-off vehicles. It's just plain unnecessary in this day and age.<br><br>I especially like your point about unnecessity to needlessly sacrifice yourself, a culture that is heavily promoted by the society. I personally dislike that culture, which angers me time and time again when I'm asked indirectly by various people in my life to take personal sacrifices for them. My entry about it is here if you're interested: <a href="http://blog.sysil.com/?p=429" rel="nofollow">http://blog.sysil.com/?p=429</a> . Learning what you want to learn rather than what you are told to learn is also multiple times more rewarding. Being orthodox with how you accomplish goals doesn't do a whole lot of good either most of the time. The apparent stability isn't as stable as they think; I think it's actually much more risky in terms of realizing a person's full potential.

What a beautiful vision(this is coming form a legally blind man from birth). I do have a question and that is on this curious notion of unschooling what happens to those children who are born with physical and or mental disabilities? Does that mean we are not going to be part of the new society that is being born even as we speak? <br><br>At any rate overal I like tha picture that comes to my mind by both blogs.<br><br>hane a good day<br>Gary (aka palmdalehermit) I like you and Leo's notion a lot especially the idea of no car zones or cities.

But due to family I'm stuck in a tentacle of Los Angeles know as the City of Palmdale. I grew eight miles away in Lancaster CA it too is very car conscious and I would love it if they retooled for pedestrians. I'm legally blind from birth and it would be truely liverating to say good bye to all the private autos in the world. It is a good article I really like the idea of car-free zones.
