The persecution of lawn-mowers, grills, fireplaces, motorcycles & more while letting factories and millions of OTR transport companies pollute freely is ridiculous. It does need fixing. But...after spending time in Italy last year, which my wife and I truly loved, I was sooo glad to get back to good, ol' Midwest America where I could breathe the air and drink the water. Americans haven't seen pollution until they witness the mess in Europe. So the lesson here? I don't think I would be modeling any comprehensive EPA overhaul by Euro standards. There is a common-sense middle-ground that can be found between American enviro-nazis and Euro burn-what-you-want approach. But I did truly dig their ability to live life to the fullest, from lunchtime (siesta) to motorsports to appreciation of the arts. Everyone should visit once. [/QUOTE]
