I never saidwe are as condensed. Where you'd get that idea?
The post about oil use......I was giving you a reason why we use more than some countries with better public transportation. Plus, we do have more people than many other countries...But our demandfor oil doesn't end at commute solutions, it's everything we toy with. No?
it's just my opinion that it's absurd that although we have roughly 15-20% of the worlds population, we somehow have the capacity to useoil far more than any other nation on the globe, especially when compared to those who are overpopulated or who we viewas overpop(china/india etc). Some would say we use 40% of the world oil, some say 60%. Whatever it is, our consumption of it is more than necessity requires & isbogus for USA to be so needy for it. But it seems like it's due to our wanting to live the "American lifestyle" which almost seems like that in itself means living beyond our means while the rest of the world gets by with whatever we dont use. the crumbs, so to speak
