““ If this isn't a guidebook, what is it? A book of sermons, perhaps. I preach that air travel be scaled back, as a start, to the level of twenty years ago, further reductions to be considered after all the Boeing engineers have been retrained as turkey ranchers. The state Game Department should establish a season on helicopters — fifty-two weeks a year, twenty-four hours a day, no bag limit. Passenger trains must be restored, as a start, to the service of forty years ago and then improved from there. The Gypsy Bus System must not be regularized (the government would regulate it to death) but publicized cautiously through the underground. I would discourage, if not ban, trekking to Everest base camp and flying over the Greenland Icecap. Generally, people should stay home. Forget gaining a little knowledge about a lot and strive to learn about a little.””
