more pollution!

I screamed to the high heavens, for all the good it did (none.) This is =
all the citizens of this, or any other, country need. An economic =
incentive to go out and pollute more. I ,mean.......damn!!!!!=20
Rather than running to take advantage of this ozone busting, war =
enhancing measure -we would not be involved in the Middle East if it =
weren't for our insatiable thirst for oil and these vehicles guzzle gas- =
it would be time better spent to contacting our representatives and =
pleading for it's repeal.=20
What we need are incentives that encourage folks to conserve and =
turn to more fuel efficient means of transport not less. This is kinda =
like the story about the old roman emperor Nero who fiddled away as his =
city burned around him. Just butt ugly ignorant.
I gave up my gas guzziling truck five years ago. Since then I've =
discovered the wonders of delivery and how much easier it is to manuever =
a small vehicle through the traffic. Took some getting used to. But it =
works.
I've also been forced to be more creative in the use of the limited =
space an aging Camry provides. I never would have thought that I would =
be able to fit a wheel, 200lbs of mud, 8 bats, a buncha tools, towels =
and various implements of destruction into one along with my 6ft 2inch =
220lb carcass.......this makes me look askance at the folks who say they =
don't have enough room in small cars. Foooeeeey!
