Well let's give a big round of applause for the taxis!

On Dutch trains I quite often see a group of people who are presumably on a day out together - they all sit down and say perhaps a few words before they sign on to facebook to tell each other and perhaps others what they are doing...

...they don't seem to communicate with each other in the old fashioned way from that point on.

Has anyone estimated how much energy this type of self satisfied self possessed self loving costs per day?

Would the saving in fossil fuels used to keep this nonsense going be great if it was stopped?

Are NYC taxi drivers actually being green by killing off these tunnel visioned morons?
