supplies, no motorcar. That is the message of the
car. That is what changes your society. It doesn’t
matter what you use the car for.
So we come back to, “Well motorcars are neither
good nor bad in themselves.” That horseradish. It
doesn’t matter whether you carry bombs in the
car, or bullets, or brassieres, or anything benign. If
you’re going to have cars then you’ve got to have
all this. And it’s all this that changes you. That
trend forms your whole society. So if you want to
understand what cars are all about, forget what
people do in them and look at what the car itself
does. That’s what’s hard to look at.
