I went to graduate school in north Philadelphia (Temple U), one of the worst 
neighborhoods in the city. I rode the decrepit 50-year-old trolly through 
the city everyday. Later I dragged my young children around on buses to 
doctors and play dates. People who truly believe in public transit have no 
problem rubbing elbows with the unwashed masses...today I AM one of those 
unwashed masses. :-)
