Wow. So, they synthesize all of the materials to make those cars, do they? Manufactured goods start where they are extracted from nature and are a liability on everyone until they are returned to nature. Recalculate the labor and materials needed along the way to support one automobile during its life cycle.

The lifestyle that most North Americans live is supported by 200 or so slaves around the world for each of us.

Just for the hell of it I wonder what percentage of the world's population has daily access to indoor plumbing with hot water? Venture a guess?
