akarunway 1 #26 October 28, 2006 QuoteHere's one way to curb consumption. It's not a long term solution, but it would cause us to cut our consumption. Give each licensed driver an annual gasoline credit of 1000 gallons, for which they pay current taxes. Once they go purchase 1000 gallons, charge additional taxes, on a rising scale. Set up a different arrangement for commercial vehicles, based on use. Salesmen with lots of samples, like clothing reps, get more additional gallons than someone with very little. Set up a fair system for everyone from insurance salesman to trucker. Hey Amazon, Is this right wing enough for you?D/L .What the fuck is that?. If all the undocumented workers in So. Cal don't need one why do I?I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.

Congestion --> consumption --> pollution, and traffic lights (and other poor traffic management strategies) --> congestion. Much of our congestion is engineered in by poor traffic management practices.Hit the nail on the head again John. I hit 5 traffic lights>RED> EVERY fuckin morn. on the way to work.
