I drive a 1984 Subaru, and it still runs great. The corporations are to blame for this polluting monster, and we all have to suffer bad air so they can maximize profits. I would like to see cars registration fees based on fuel economy, and for all vehicles to be required to meet the same emission requirements. I also think it is time for a standard bumper height. This movement is usually based on very selfish aesthetic reasons and gives no understanding to what is economically wise for the owner of the property.
Most growers say the finest sounds they can hear are the sounds of hammers hitting nails.
When they hear those sounds they know their land will be worth something, regardless of bad agricultural consequences. As far as Americans buying all their food from foreign sources, we are well on our way to that eventually. With the present political, environmental and economic conditions, it is inevitable. I want to thank Michael for his comments, which dissent with the majority of comments received on this subject. Keep the comments coming.
