But such is not the luxury-choosing way of Americans, so I was forced to stay home. Cont...

Good rebuttal, but not completely relevant. We are discussing laws, not your personal actions. Yes, one hummer would not even begin to make an impression on energy supply, but the dozens of hummers and tens of thousands of sports cars that I have seen with mine own eyes very well could. An example would be a time about a year ago that gas was being rationed here in the Southeast due to a hurricane closing down some oil refineries. When I had my turn at a gas pump, I took the last drop. Cont...
