So... in your paradigm, how do you address someone asking, "Isn't the bare basics of A to B travel, walking?"

I have been an owner of both a '64 Dodge Dart (slant six, cast iron block, push-button transmission in the dash) that I bought for $50 in the 1978, and, more recently, my 2001 986 that I acquired late last year. Both were/are statement cars. In between was a dull series of SUVs and 4-door sedans. Yes, view your education as sacred, and get the most out of it despite the occasional short-sighted teacher. There is no price that can be placed on personal freedom. We all have our 'Walden Ponds'; I don't view it as conceited at all for HDT to have sought it out.
