All this shit about unhealthy air and causing harm to innocent bystanders, and no one gives two half-shits about the billions of oil powered engines which spew CO2 into the air which makes me and millions of other people sick and cancerous. Why isn't there a fervor against car users who made my dear old granddad develop a tumor on his spine? Who made little Sophie stay home from school when she came down with a fever? Who made me gag and nauseated after walking three blocks to the Quik-stop?
Oh, it's because it's the American way of life. We built this country on oil, right. We also built this country on tobacco. This is hypocrisy! WHY is it we concentrate so heavily on smoking, which in reality affects a very miniscule fraction of public health compared to gasoline and diesel? WHY aren't we enacting laws requiring billions of tax money to be spent researching alternative fuels and converting existing engines? WHY???
