Wonderful, but all of your toys came from those cities you despise.  If you 
want the benefits you have to put up with their dumps, too.  They're not 
making Corvettes, Mega-trucks and ATVs in the Wisconsin backwoods.  I'll 
grant that your personal net use of petroleum may be less than mine, but I 
get by with one 12 year old car, a motorcycle, and a Honda 2KW generator 
(with a total of 350 hours over three years).  How much petroleum goes into 
the production of a new 'vette?
