If you ride alone.........YOUR RIDING WITH HITLER!

I found this US propaganda pic stating that if you ride alone you ride with hitler! I think the point they are trying to make is too carpool and give your other car to the army for scrap metal, or something to that effect.

So today's version is, "If you ride alone, you're riding with Bin Laden...Al Zarchawi...a Saudi prince...Exxon-Mobil"? :D No, the White House won't do anything to cut back Americans' gluttonous oil consumption.

It was funny, but during the 70's fuel crisis, I was in Cambridge Mass (ugh!), and some shopkeeper displayed this poster in his window.....

I don’t think that young the "intellectuals” in the area really got it....

The Message of the Poster is to join a car pool not to scrap your car but to safe materials like oil and rubber.
