Re: Tonnage Rules! Hi James, Loved the argument in favor of the goliath SUVs. This is the same kind of thinking that created MAD, Mutally Assured Destruction, and the 6,000 nuclear tipped missiles we have currently got aimed at the people of Russia and the FSU, guaranteed to kill 'em 12 times over! They don't call it MAD for nothing. The Copley piece reminded me of a favorite ballcap embroidery I saw while living in SE Alaska. "Tonnage Rules!" refers to the bending the 'rules of the road' on the high seas. Seems that we want to apply the same standard to our freeways and highways. Transportation by intimidation seems somehow less that civilized, BWDIK? James, have you considered that if everyone were required to downsize to sensible vehicles, and the insanity of allowing Californians to drive 75 MPH in Tule fogs were ended, that we'd all be a lot safer, and saner? OTOH, I recently heard that Joni Mitchell (you recall her lament "They paved paradise and put up a parking lot") has recently been spotted driving around Malibu in a...... SUV. I'm investing in paving contractors. Ciao!
