if this proposal were instituted from above (i.e., as part of some law decided upon in Washington DC rather than as a result of agitation by a previously-existing "grassroots" mass movement), it might easily create mass resentment not only against the "pointy-headed bureaucrats" in DC but also against environmentalism. -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
