The semiosis of an automotive world

Noxious Oil: "If this was Afghanistan, we might call these deaths collateral damage. Our oil world depends on putting lethal machines in the hands of fallible drivers close to defenseless pedestrians. Oil dominates our culture, our economy and, most of all, our mentality. Thinking beyond oil is either eccentric or subversion"

In the rawest sense semiotics is a stew. It is the plethora of signs that crop up in the mind. What could be more foundational in today's world than the sign of the moving car? Its representation can be manifold from drooling envy to the shocked realization that it is a lethal instrument that has been placed close to almost every living being on the planet. The car as an omnipresent sign seals our common doom. It carries within it nothing but pain and suffering for the planet. The inference or hypothesis is thus to find a way beyond this omnipresent sign.
