Making a virtue of consumption?

If you live without a car, you are a "moocher." So says Mossback. Difficult to live without a car in Seattle? Probably. But a moocher? Silly.

The odd thing about his post is that he doesn't merely suggest (as if that would be some great insight) that Seattle-without-a-car is tough. That's obvious. But he goes further and suggests that it is somehow immoral not to have a car....in fact one is a hypocrite and...a "moocher." Strange post.

My neighbors take notice and comment here, here and here.
