I use him because the two of you are (slightly) functioning as a tag

but it's lurking there. I suspect that behind your facade, you've got
the same issues.

So if that's your problem with him, I take it you're a fascist/socialist
who abhors freedom? That's basically what you're saying if that's your
problem with Fritz.

See? I knew it was lurking there! :-) Another one who only sees extremes.

Let me ask you another question which you will not answer: Let's say that
10 scientists for whom you have nothing but the utmost in respect proved
unequivocally that automobile exhaust was by far the largest human
contribution to global warming. Never mind how it compared to other sources,
like coal-fired power plants. Not trains. Not oil furnaces in peoples'
homes. Not big ships with smelly smokestacks. Only cars.

Let's introduce another interesting factor: Oil companies magically discover
oil deposits larger than they ever imagined, in places where they can obtain
it cheaply, with little environmental risk. Result: Gasoline goes back to
$1.83 a gallon. I'm introducing this idea for a reason, which I may or may
not reveal after you answer the question below.

Something needs to be done about automobile emissions now, and you're
elected to a position where you have the ability to wield some power. What
would you do?
