Some one needs to pass a law that if you are falsely accused you

1000 times your legal fees. Then tere would be plenty of big firms
to help.


Someone. Who? Big corps own Congress and the Senate.

And this is why more and more restrictions get placed on tobacco
companies and automobile manufacturers and the like? Because they
_love_ being regulated?

The delegation
system used as part of voting is the thing of the past. A slap in
the face for the typical voter of today. Yet, the lemmings of today
are typically ignorant of this. And, if they are aware, don't
care.

Karl Rove
In a 1997 deposition, Rove testified that he worked as a Philip Morris
consultant from 1991 to 1996, taking about $175,000 in fees. He said
that Bush was aware of his Philip Morris ties beginning in 1993.

Rove admitted in his 1997 deposition that he steered Bush toward pushing
the tort reform issue as a central prong in his campaigns, though Rove
denied ever misusing his ties to the governor to advance the interests
of Philip Morris. Bush did deliver a major rollback in victims' legal
rights -- highlighted in his presidential campaign -- to the benefit of
Philip Morris.

CAFE Standards
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpora...e_Fuel_Economy

Cars and light trucks are considered separately for CAFE and are held to
different standards. As of early 2004, the average for cars must exceed
27.5 mpg, and the light truck average must exceed 20.7 mpg. Trucks under
8500 pounds must average 22.5 mpg in 2008, 23.1 mpg in 2009, and 23.5
mpg in 2010. After this, new rules set varying targets based on truck
size "footprint."

In late 2007, CAFE standards received their first overhaul in more than
30 years. On December 19, President Bush signed into law the Energy
Independence and Security Act of 2007, which requires in part that
automakers boost fleetwide gas mileage to 35 mpg by the year 2020. This
requirement applies to all passenger automobiles, including "light
trucks." Politicians had faced increased public pressure to raise CAFE
standards; a July 2007 poll conducted in seven states revealed 84-90% in
favor of legislating mandatory increases.[19]

I bought a Nissan Sentra in 1990 that got 40 mpg. What is the problem?
