I always say it's cost since I don't ever feel like I can win the argument, but this is the real reason I won't drive. An innocent drive to the supermarket - multiplied by hundreds of millions of consumers and set against falling supply, rising demand and the interests of some of the richest and most powerful people in the world - kills. When you drive your car or play playstation or turn on a light... even typing this right now I am - from a sufficient distance to make it seem palatable - causing wars, pollution, fires, death and misery. We are all the fatcats and we are the bringers of the "Flames from Hell."
I'd also like to draw your attention to the excellent Nneka, who - through her music - first drew my attention to the plight of Nigeria, alongside the Middle East, in the oil wars (and these are wars in the same sense that the USA vs. Iraq was a war, Israel vs. Palestine is a war or Britain vs Nigeria over a hundred years ago was a war.)
We all live in sin.
