Sacrifice

Would you sacrifice your own life to save your child? Would you willingly take their place if they were sent to war? There's no reason to make such an extreme sacrifice. All you have to do is discontinue the use of your car. "What are you crazy?" most would say, "Now you've gone too far. Without my car I could never get through my day. I can't function without my car." How sad that we all have become so dependant on this Convenience. Meanwhile people are being slaughtered for oil as we drive our cars so complacent. A Car Is A Convenience. It Is NOT A Necessity! If you lost your car tomorrow you'd still survive, just somewhat inconveniently. I've been known to start my day at midnight so I can get to work by 7:00 am. It's one of the inconveniences of using public transportation. If I wanted to I could buy 3 cars tomorrow and make life more Convenient for me, but not for as long as people are dying soley to feed the oil industry's greed. I know that I'll never make a difference because I'm among the minority. Maybe after too many of our children get slaughtered for oil will others then assimilate me.. ..but sadly I doubt that very highly. Where are you when we need you Ghandi?
