The New Colonist Releases Ten Commandments for Commuters

PITTSBURGH—In response to the Vatican's ten commandments for drivers, 
The New Colonist issued Ten Commandments for Commuters. "We applaud 
the Vatican for encouraging drivers to be polite and sober," said 
editor Eric Miller, "We just think they should be pointing out that 
driving isn't really that good for us or society and isn't the best 
way to get around."

Here are the Ten Commandments for Commuters:

1. Thou Shall Not Pollute. Cars pollute. Automobiles are a major 
source of C02, which causes global warming. The EPA now has the 
authority to regulate the pollutant C02.

2. Thou Shall Not Kill: More than 40,000 people die in the United 
States each year from auto-related causes. Almost five thousand 
pedestrians are killed in collisions with autos. 

3. Love Thy Neighbor. This includes communing with thy neighbor on 
public transportation, sidewalks, parks, etc. Avoiding thy neighbor 
by staying in a car with the radio blasting is cheating.
