Not so much as proof but as a comparative example. I'm not sure if I understand your response, or has mocking someone's opinion become part of healthy political debate 'round here?

That's something we're going to have to work at and hopefully get over. If I really loved to buy gasoline and burn it in an iron barrel in my driveway, depending on burning regulations, I could...but it wouldn't be very responsible on my part.

This is also true. Americans have always this sort of attitude. That because we have a basic list of rights given to us by the Constitution we have the right to do whatever we want. But where do you draw the line between rights and responsibilities? This sort of thing has been discussed MANY times on the politics board. As humans we have a responsibility to protect our ecosystem and our resources, yet nothing in our constitution grants us the right to get no more than 13 miles/gallon.
