[quote=BigGovernmentIsGood]Feel free to continue to whine about how increasing mpg standards violates your precious rights. The majority of America disagrees with you.[/quote]

Funny thing about rights. They are inalienable. That the majority of America disagrees doesn’t matter. You can’t vote them away.

I believe by continually using the word “whining,” and insulting me rather than presenting logical counter arguements makes you the emotional one.

Uh. I didn’t say anything about pollution, and neither did your original post. That is a different matter entirely. Regulating pollution is sensible as it prevents people from infringing upon the rights of others. Your post has to do with gas mileage – a decision I have the right to make for myself.[/quote]

Actually, because pollution occurs during the extraction of oil, increasing mpg will reduce that pollution. One of the biggest ecological disasters in American history occurred as a result of attempted oil extraction this summer in the Gulf of Mexico.[/quote]

But if you want to regulate the pollution that occurs during the extraction of oil, then regulate the pollution that occurs during the extraction of oil.

Don’t try to change the demand for oil itself. It’s madness.

I guess you don’t believe that rights are precious. It is clear that you don’t. You believe that the government can tell everyone what to do, as long as it fits into your view of how the world should be.

[quote=afx114]In what universe are MPG and pollution levels not related?[/quote]

They can be regulated separately, can’t they ?

My point was – I take no issues with pollution regulations. I do take issue with MPG regulations. This topic deals with MPG regulations.

The OP and I agree that pollution regulations are acceptable so it isn’t worth discussing.
