Send "seven nation army's" bass line to the .1

While a nice idea, in practice this can't work. Mass boycott of the ISPs would cripple many businesses, and produce alot of whiny Facebook addicts.

For that matter, we are all so numb to the realities of the world around us that it is next to impossible to organize any sort of mass rebellion to fix this type of thing. People want to go back to their Facebook and WOW and forget the ever present BOHICA.

Dead on. The incentive to park your car (or not even own a car) is much much higher in countries with high population densities. One metric I would love to see studied in regards to transportation infrastructure is GDP/square km (or mile). I think you would start to see a very clear line where rail/mass transit becomes cost effective at certain $/density levels. Someone do that study for me...
