They have not meet our standards for decades. Funny how no one talks about that. I'm not talking about European cars which are built for export to the US, I'm talking about European cars that are built to be sold in Europe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7673758362916429937.post-9358562402268659962007-08-31T19:03:00.000+10:002007-08-31T19:03:00.000+10:00This sort of response is a clear indication of the...This sort of response is a clear indication of the enviro-lefties' real agenda. Their "solutions," whether one believes in the problems they propound or not, are always designed to maximize elite control over the common man. A response that fails to swell government exponentially is simply unacceptable to them; it's not why they're in the game.<BR/><BR/>One of the simplest, cleanest, and easiest things one could do in the name of air pollution control, for example, is to switch electrical generation from fossil fuels to nuclear generators. It would also avert many deaths per year in the extractive industries and modestly reduce the price of a kilowatt-hour. But the green bigots will have none of it. Here's eco-deity Amory Lovins on a related subject:<BR/><BR/>"If you ask me, it’d be a little short of disastrous for us to discover a source of clean, cheap, abundant energy because of what we would do with it. We ought to be looking for energy sources that are adequate for our needs, but that won’t give us the excesses of concentrated energy with which we could do mischief to the earth or to each other." [Environmentalist Amory Lovins, in a 1977 interview with Playboy magazine]<BR/><BR/>The mandarins of the Left hate abundance, prosperity, and individual freedom. It leaves them too little with which to justify their lusts for power.Francis W.
