Anybody check the price of meats in the store lately?

Or Milk?


No doubt - the best approach to energy independence is to force efficiency.
Of course it would be hard to get that monster SUV up to 30 MPG, so in that
case a very hefty gas guzzler/surtax should kick in. It should be annual
and high enough that most people will not want to pay it.

If you can afford to drive it, you should have the right to drive it - but
you should have to pay for the privilege!


Why, are SUVs illegal? Should we prevent people from owning houses that
you believe are too big for them?

Same should apply to boats.


Why do you want to prevent Joe-six-pack the joy of boat ownership?
