Shouldn't it be accessibility that we are after? To quote the Eagles further on the consequences of an addiction to mobility: Glowing and burning blinded by thirst They didn't see the stop sign Took a turn for the worse She said, listen baby. you can hear the engine rev. weve up and down this highway, haven't seen a goddamn thing. He said, call the doctor. I think I'm gonna crash. the doctor say he's coming but you gotta pay in cash. They were rushing down that freeway, Messed around and got lost They didn't care they were just dieing to get off and it was... Life in the fast lane. Why is mobility important anyway?

To quote the Eagles further on the consequences of an addiction to mobility:

Glowing and burning blinded by thirst
They didn't see the stop sign
Took a turn for the worse
She said, listen baby. you can hear the engine rev.
weve up and down this highway, haven't seen a goddamn thing.
He said, call the doctor. I think I'm gonna crash.
the doctor say he's coming but you gotta pay in cash.
They were rushing down that freeway,
Messed around and got lost
They didn't care they were just dieing to get off and it was...

Life in the fast lane.
