Charlie, that's your opinion.  I'd love to go to the horse races with you
sometime.  Might show you that opinion doesn't always match up in the way
you'd like it to.

Cars are not necessities to life.  Not even in Los Angeles.  What's necessary
to you ain't necessarily so to the rest of us.  And, surprise, surprise,
Vice Versa.
