To Him-With-His-Foot-In-His-Mouth: <<Taking advantage of two legal loopholes dating back to when SUVs and other light trucks were used primarily for farming and hauling, automakers are building SUVs and other light trucks that emit as much as three times more smog-forming air pollution and use 33% more gas per mile driven than the average car.>> pirg.org <<Light Trucks Worst on Road>> abcnews.go.com <<A proposal recently floated by auto manufacturers would cut average fleet nitrogen oxide emissions to 0.07 grams per mile for all vehicles, including SUVs and light trucks, by 2011. The average is 0.4 grams per mile currently for cars and 0.7 grams to 1.1 grams per mile for SUVs. >> abcnews.go.com Now, who, Sir, gave you the unmitigated right to blithely fill up the air my children breathe with smog at two to three times the rate normal cars do, without a thought to the consequences? Is that the typical Republican civic position?: I'll do what I damn well please as long as I can pay for it and the hell with the rest of you??
