Anti-automobile propaganda is perfectly acceptable and I'll fight for your right to spread it. I'll even admit that a tiny fraction of it is valid.

What we're arguing about is the use of the power of the Federal government to coerce people into behaving in modes approved by elite central planners. I'll also fight to maintain my range of choices.

Yup. A Honda is a far better investment than your bottom of the line Merc. More reliable too. Honda engines are the best in the world, especially among 4 bangers. Also the most environmentally friendly.

"Today a magnificent instrument has ruptured the human environment in the name of progress. Its terror has been accepted as a fact of modern war--almost as if it were a sacrifice of war."

--Kenneth R. Schneider, Autokind vs. Mankind

One errant Old World primate species is now changing the global environment more than that environment has changed at any previous time since the end of the Mesozoic era sixty-five million years ago."

--E. O. Wilson, "Biodiversity, Prosperity and Values" [1]
