Is it possible to state your message without being confrontational?
Yes. Thom is a little wary of cars, as we all should be. He's said something along the lines of "We're just riding on those things, you know. We're not in control of them."
For myself it brings to mind a fear of the way we live our lives, trusting in things that just carry us along without thinking about how we got from point A to point B. We do a lot of things without thinking.
We go to the ATM and expect this box to spit money into our hands because that's just what it does. Hop on the train, and it goes. Press this button, the box turns on and shows us images. That sort of thing. No one stops to think that what you're looking at is tons and tons of tiny points of red, green, and blue light. You're sitting there staring at a box, but if you catch yourself you'll notice that when you're absorbed in what you're watching it's almost like you ignore your peripheral vision. All you see is what's in front of you.

Sorry. That got long-winded. Oh well.
