".you deserve sucking on the foul air coming out of LA. See how your lungs are functioning in 10-15 years." probably better than yours with all that humidity up there. Think of all the mold growing in your lungs

Ted, > You are an idiot if you take offense with people who want cleaner air and water. Your left side of your brain really doesn't have any say, does it? Tenchusatsu

>> You are an idiot if you take offense with people who want cleaner air and water. Nobody opposes clean air or water. The question is at what cost? California is a great example with its recent requirement that gas pump nozzles be replaced. It seems that the current nozzles only capture 95% of vapors emitted during filling one's gas tank. They wanted 98%. Not that it matters one iota. So, CA gas station owners are having to pay $11,000 per pump for a new, 98% compliant nozzle when the 95% nozzles were just fine. Who picks up this tab? The station's customers, of course. Who are already broke, overtaxed, overregulated, and have a variety of much bigger problems. But no. They did it to themselves.
