Road Tripping

I want to congratulate everyone on identifying Young's main argument: preservation is personal. I agree with everyone that Young’s humor and wit convey why we should care about the world around us, above us, and below us. I also think we should ponder a bit more about Amanda’s question she posed on Shelby’s blog. What does this format allow Young to do that he wouldn’t be able to do otherwise? Some curse brevity but are their some benefits to being forced to limit your words?
