And what about the millions of other commercial and privately owned motor vehicles in urban and suburban areas, not to mention the various types of gasoline or diesel-powered equipment that may or may not be adequately covered by existing emissions control regulations? And what about areas where there are no regulations besides Federal regulations which are usually not enforced there (or only in the case of coal-fired power plants)? If the EPA and the enviro-nuts were really serious about tackling emissions in general, they'd be applying these same strict standards to all emission sources, not just a select few that the NIMBYs and other assorted idiots would prefer to remove permanently (namely to some Third World country that no one here gives a raggedy rat's rear about).

It's crap like this that makes me wish I'd been born a century earlier; yeah, it may have been less "safe" in some ways, but at least you didn't have to put up with the sort of government that we have today (if one feels foolish enough to call the collection of self-serving politicians and bureaucrats we now have a "government"!).
