Growls

"One of the sharpest critics [of the invention of the automobile] was the president of Princeton University, Woodrow Wilson.  In 1906, seven years before he moved into the White House as president of the United States, Wilson declared that cars were "a picture of the arrogance of wealth” and that “nothing spread socialistic feeling in this country more than the use of the automobile."
