Letter to Local Newspaper

Editor:
I have a modest proposal for solving the Valley's transportation woes. Now
that everyone in the Valley has at least one SUV, we can quit paving the
roads. The funds can be diverted into building a transit system similar to
that found in many major cities in the industrialized world. With concerted
effort, we may be able to catch up with the western Europeans in a couple of
decades. Perhaps by then the station-wagon-on-steroids fad will have run
its course, and we can resume paving everything in sight.
cheers,
-Mark
