IMO,
Going Green is a religion. The people in government that worship at this alter are trying to change our way of life, through taxes (fees), and laws (regulations), and indoctrination of our kids in school. We, as United States citizens, gear heads and automotive enthusiasts do need to pay attention to what our local, state, and federal "representatives" are voting on.
Most of us probably didn't pay attention when the thieves in our states and in Washington destroyed the tobacco companies, and taxed the smokers to death ($9.50 a pack in NY.) all because they were looking out for our best interest. The government spent/spends all that money they took/take on pork and closing budget deficits, not on education and health care like they said they were.
We all need to stand together and fight for the rights of others interests, as well as our own.
The government has taken true religious freedom from us. They have/are taking our freedom to make personal choices from us. The second amendment has been demonized and twisted, making it ridiculously hard, in some states for a citizen to get, own, and use a gun.
Regulations are in every facet of our lives, and we still think that we are a free people? Vote for people of character and that stand for your way of life. Don't let up on them, call them, write them, fax them, and e-mail them. Let them know what you want, they are suppose to be representing us, if not vote them out.
Teach your kids the importance of treating others fairly, and to think for themselves.
Thanks bringing this to our attention Bill.
Live Free, or Die.
Ok, sorry for the rant... I'll get off my soap box now... Next.
