Pedestrians are like lone traders... cannon fodder!

I've been using startpage quite a bit the last few days (I've not given duckduckgo a honest try yet, but I first heard of it when I switched to Mint last April). Thanks for keeping on topic, too.

It's unfortunate that as far as the car is concerned, the US is still the gold standard model for a way of life and thus for new urban development, even in Europe, where there are cities about 25 times older than cars are now (133 years since Karl Benz).

I'm sure, as is the case in many things . Still, it sounds as though there has been a clear change from when you fellas were younger and now.
