- a8da6b0c91d 13y agoIt's funny how oblivious Americans are to the dangers of driving. This despite generally knowing people who have been badly injured or killed in vehicular accidents. Car exhaust is also a big deal. Air pollution kills. Instead of talking about the very concretely understood dangers of car culture, people want to spout total nonsense about sugar or freak out about a little second hand smoke.
