Hi Platt,

I'm not attached to this situation (the gas guzzler).  I'm actually 
holding it in the yes-no&all-of the-above mode.  There is a lot of 
railing against the other's view on this site.  Noam Chomsky versus 
Bill O'Reillly for one.  This was an innocent act, so I thought it 
might be worth a look.  It's one thing to criticize the unknown 
(abstract) others, it's quiet another to consider those close to 
you.  And oneself, for that matter.  I thought it was an interesting 
consideration, maybe I was wrong.  Not a problem.
