<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Auto industry’s litigation strategy may have backfired in showrooms]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by racc http://www.grist.org/article/2009-05-20-auto-emissions-litigation/ Wed, 20 May 2009 12:29:15 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/2009-05-20-auto-emissions-litigation/1 No pity for the dealers. They sold and continue to sell products that are destroying the planet, the economy and killing tens of thousands of people a year. They have known this for years and still chose to stay in the business. They have been a big part of the problem and deserve no sympathty.

Bill Hicks was onto something. California should fall into the ocean already so they can stop ruining it for the rest of us. And I'll be the first to buy beachfront property at Arizona Bay.

Well all be forced to by $35,000 cars with marginal improvements in efficiency!

Plus the credit card bill still lets them charge 20 percent or more.

And please do not invoke Bill Hicks's good name to promote ideas to which he would have been totally and unequivocally opposed.  Hicks was a deep thinker (as well as being one of the greatest stand up comedians ever).  He would never have supported driving at the expense of destruction of the planet; he was far too spiritual for that.
