60 mpg by 2025

To force people into a certain way of action because you think that is the way it should be is basically a totalitarian approach that never works, and invariably results in unexpected side-affects that screw up your original intentions or create worse problems. This idea is “Control Freaks Gone Wild.” Who is to say you are the guy to decide ? Why 60 mph ? Why not 1000? Why not 10?[/quote]

Not to mention the religious fundamentalists who want to legislate social behavior, but who themselves do wicked things.

I want unregulated porn and prostitution. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to buy it.

Hey – I’m right there with you on all of these points, brian, especially the first one. In fact, my biggest frustration with the conservative mindset is the broken logical construct that people are free to do business but need their personal lives regulated per some idealogical sense of good and evil.

That you so staunchly support regulating so many things for environmental purposes, yet see the oppressive nature of regulating personal habits is just as disturbing.

Actually, I don’t support regulation for environmental purposes per se. The environmental benefits are just bonuses.

I support regulations to support American businesses. When the Chinese, Koreans and other competitors are creating corporate giants and new markets, we can’t afford to sit back.

You see, the myth of America as a free market is wrong. We have always been a mercantilist country with a heavy hand of government. Think of the railroads and the exploitation of the west thanks to support from the Cavalry. Without heavy government involvement, we would not have “tamed” the Western Frontier.
