5) Fill in the blanks based on what you listen:
We have _______________ humanity in the building of our places on the public spaces for the last 40 years.
… a powerful man with a powerful car. I wish, I wish, I wish. Gee, I wish I was old and I could drive.
For as long as most Americans can remember, the car has been the icon of the American dream. It _______________ our emotions, ______________ our notions of freedom, wealth and independence. At the same time, it reinforced our vision of a bright and shiny future.
A patriotic vision built with American ingenuity of knowhow.
In many ways the car has defined us both individually and designation. It’s been a __________ symbol, reviewing our success and proclaiming, “We’ve arrived!”
We gave cars names that symbolize our might and ______________.
Names that express our restless ___________________ experiences.
A car, a tank of gas and nothing but the open road before you. It gave us a sense of security and achievement. There was no place you couldn’t go.
We were truly in charge of our destinies. We were free to go where we wanted to go. See what we wanted to see. Do what we wanted to do. And live for where we wanted to live.
Not much has changed in the last fifty years; automakers continue to help us to find ourselves by the _______________ names of the cars we drive.
We are ‘_______________’, ‘Trailblazers”. We ‘Venture’ into the unknown. Ford tells us we are ‘Explorers’, taking excursion on ‘Expedition’ into the uncharged territory.
But with our growing population of more than 300 million and more than 250 million cars and light trucks on our roads, Americans have become slaves to this freedom. What started out as a transportation choice has become our only option. Our love affair with the automobile is _______.
As population continues to grow in the US, which will continue to do. We don’t have enough room to accommodate all those cars. We can build the freeways, we can build the roads, and still have places that haven’t any kind of quality and character to life.
For decades the coming solution, to congestion on highways or freeways was adding a lane or adding several lanes. As if continuing adding lanes is going to ___________ the congestion problem. The reality is we know the day that in fact that any lanes only __________________ more congestion.
And what’s amazing about it, you think about it, we’ve spent billions of dollars in our road systems and expanding road systems and the planning of this, the planners can project at what point in the time in the future, 20 years from now or 30 years from now, whatever may be and we will be at the same point of congestion or worse than we are today.
Most of the time we like freeways or elevated freeways. We devalue to use public money to devalue private real state. It doesn’t sound very American to me.
