Get it still, you don't. Trying to accomplish this change through
governmental taxation will only result in animosity and non-compliance.
Not to mention the fact that you'd never get Congress to agree on an
approach. Accomplishing it through a high cost of ownership due to high
fuel bills and wicked depreciation will happen with Congress doing what
it does best...nothing. The market always works...eventually. Trust
the force, Luke.



What do you do about the terminally stupid who can't understand cause and
effect?

Well eventually, the terminally part of your description will become
operative. In the meantime, let them pay through the nose. But when it
costs $200 to fill up the tank of their truck, do you really think even
the dimmest bulb won't get a clue? That level of witlessness is not
typically found in the company of unlimited financial resources.



Meanwhile, they're part of a problem that this country MUST deal with.
That's why I see nothing wrong with gently leading them by the nose.
Hell....there are still billboards addressing smoking, DWI and domestic
violence. They may not be the greatest thing since bait vending machines, as
far as getting a message across, but I think they achieve more than nothing.
