<facepalm>. This sort of breathless rhetoric from people like you are is exactly why it's a difficult to solve social/political problem rather than a mundane technical optimization issue. They basically banned flip up headlights without any fanfare 30yr ago and it garnered a little complaining from the aesthetics crowd. Those sorts of things can't be done anymore because your ilk has poisoned the well of public policy and discourse.

The common man hears your sort of rhetoric, knows he can't reasonably be an expert in the subject matter and the nuances of the statistics, but he can pattern match on how you're saying what you're saying and it matches up with a whole bunch of crap that's been bad for him.

I really hate the modern high hood truck styling. But I hate it a little less knowing it's followed the problem people to Europe.
