  12. In article <1992Nov6.134822.5000@news.yale.edu> watt-alan@net.yale.edu (Alan Watt) writes:
  13. }True.  But no government where cars are registered has (yet) promoted
  14. }a policy to restrict or ban private automobile ownership.  When one
  15. }does, you can bet the registration lists will be used to aid enforcement.

  17. Just give the environmentalists enough rope.  They've already started to try
  18. to pull us down the slippery slope with gas taxes, emissions controls,
  19. "alternative" energy policies...  I can just hear them now: "No one has the
  20. right to endanger the Planet by the anti-environmental act of driving their
  21. own vehicle.  Let them take public transportation."
  22.  
  23. And it bears repeating: the power to tax is the power to destroy.
