I actually agree that cars are unfairly demonized. Hell, I think the proliferation of batteries and electrical (and plastic) gadgets are an impeding environmental issue – but short sighted greenies like things because they don’t see the pollution. Idiots.
Then again, every little bit helps. That is why I don't argue the reasons they are there - just the reasons why not to bother with screwing with them. The payback vs effort & trouble is rather low.
