Chapter 12 of Sophie's World. A few minutes into my ride, I heard
these words, "It could be of value to drive a car and get quickly from
one place to another, but if driving led to deforestation and
polluting the natural environment you are facing a choice of values.
After careful consideration, Sophie felt that she had come to the

valuable than getting to work quickly."
Hearing this reminded me of the statistic that there are 750 cars for
every 1000 people in America, yet in China the ratio is only 44 cars
per 1000 people. This week I created a web page about oil dependency
and the T. Boone Pickens Plan for solar, wind, and natural gas:

Lunch at The Btead Garden Market, 20080825mo1345

At $7.18 for all this food, it's a great deal.

question, "Why do people stop playing with toys when they grow up?"
Much of the book so far is about seeing the Universe and all
experiences with the wonder, imagination, and fascination of a child.
Philosophers are adults who maintain an inquisitive child-like sense
of wonder.
