"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

No. It is just Cali doing it to it's own citizens. It's not our fault if the rest of the country FOLLOWS suit.

55MPG seems unreasonable for trucks, particularly since it could force people to adopt larger fleets of smaller trucks, which could be even less efficient than larger trucks.

I assume he meant trucks in the F-150 range, not the 18 Wheeler style.
However I could see a 55(car)-50("Light truck")/45-Truck area as possible by 2010 if the car company's were FORCED into it.

You know what? Fuck you. If other states were "ultra strict" with shit like air pollution, I'd be a hell of a lot happier.
Air pollution is a fucking BAD THING. If you can't understand that, you belong in a well-padded room without sharp objects. Car mileage SHOULD be pushed up as high as the industry can realistically achieve.
We need cleaner air a hell of a lot more than we do cheap cars.

In that case I hope the people of the US have more luck with their austrian, than the germans had with theirs.
When Arnold was running for governor, I was accosted outside a grocery store by a pack of petitioners trying to convince people that he was actually a eguenically perfected Nazi plot to create the perfect soldier/warrior/politician and then use him to take over the governments of the world.
I looked at them and said "If that's their plan, and they pull it off, they're definitely the ones I want running the country."

Ah-hem. He?
At any rate, I meant 55mpg as a fleet average. And in all cases I'm referring to all vehicles that can be driven with a standard driver's license. CDL vehicles should be exempt. For every 65mpg car you build, you can build one 45mpg truck.
