Corporate America owns the government through our system of legalized
bribery that is campaign finance. When the companies that are doing the
polluting pay millions of dollars to the politicians then get invited
into
congressional conference committee meetings to re wright the laws on
pollution, the corporations are the only ones who are getting things
"much
better". If you really want to do something about the environment,
forget
about cars (even junkers) and clamp down on corporations (good luck on
that).

I certainly don't want to be the one to burst the socialist
bubble/mantra but...we have the cleanest industry/corporations in the
world. No one else is even close. Can they do a better job? Yes. The
trade-off is always cost and that affects competitiveness with other
countries all of which are so far behind us as to not be funny. I'm
certainly not amused. We're doing our part for the globe and most every
one else (read countries) is getting a free ride. Canada I would say is
the exception.
=============================================
Sorry, dude, but your theory about "emissions regulations aimed at
killing
large displacement V8's" is a little too paranoid for my taste. The end
result might make it harder for big V8's to meet the regs, but I doubt
that
the people making the regs are sitting around a table going "What can we
do
to kill off big V8's today?" ... Of course that's just my opinion. I
could be wrong.
==============================================
It may be a little paranoid but it is accurate. One only has to read
the Vice-Perpetrator's book to understand that this is one of the goal's
of the socialists.
I like Dennis Miller's Rants also. <g>

authority, as such. For him, scepticism is the highest of duties; blind
faith the one unpardonable sin." Thomas H. Huxley
