Yes, and you must be of the opinion that it's the government's fault. Golly gee, look at that! I just took responsibility for my own actions. Matthew Small

Such as the fact that the people themselves have no cars. He has absolutley no idea how far away the convention center is. No idea about the composition of the people, how many old, sick,infirm. Hasn't even thought about how they are going to feed themselves, or get water along the way. Yet finds it completely plausible that if people could DRIVE to where these people are, then the people could very well WALK out en masse themselves. Incredible leap of logic..simply incredible.
