No, of course not. More later. > That's asinine.

I'm sorry if I didn't make it clear. You should drive what you want, but the true cost of driving it should be carried by you. There is no cost added to your need to drive a big fat V8 for the damage it does to the planet. No matter how good it is, it pollutes more than smaller ones and should be priced accordingly. No motor vehicle on the road is so priced. No appliance, or any other "consumable" has the true planet view cost reflected in it's price. The debt will be paid by someone, and it's immoral to shove it off on the future. That's the fact an already overcrowded planet needs to wake up to and fast. As for my pie in the sky requirements, is wanting non bleached paper on the shelf next to the higher priced (to reflect the true environment cost) bleached paper so out of line? Sorry if I ruffled your feathers, I was torn by apologizing for singling you out on that side of the divide, but I decided to apologize would then really single you out. :( Regards, Al "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
