I agree that car pools generally only work for those with defined hours. But even those types rarely bother to use car pools. Ya know why? Because gas is cheap in this country. If it were expensive, many people would either have to live closer to where they work, or they would have to do things like car pool or take public transportation.
Upping the taxes on gasoline will help to win the war on terrorism. Can't do it all at once too fast because of how that would affect those who live far away from where they work.

Can I just say, except for the snotty and repetitive attack in the last line of your first paragraph, 2.
I am all in favor of raising the the gas tax and implementing a national "vehicle-weight miles-travelled" tax. And I think the idea of paying as you go is at the core of what is Right.
Which is to say, even if you are not me, you can still be partly Right.
