cabs, trains, and buses also pollute, do they not? As far as pollution concerns go, the numbers cars someone owns has nothing to do with it, it is how much the person drives is the question. A car that sits a driveway, turned off, doesn't pollute at all.

comparing cars to smoking is as stupid as comparing cars to guns.

Also I had thought that electric and hybrid cars were much better for the enviornment than standard gas cars, but I am no expert.

Yeah but cars, trains and buses carry more people per tank of fuel ergo polluting less per journey.

A car that sits in a driveway and doesn't go any where A) is a redundant structure by definition a pollutant B) eventually breaks down into pollutants and C) creates pollution being constructed.

Comparing cars to smoking isn't stupid only a jerk or a drunk would say that.

And while we are on the subject of generally dangerous things having too many children (especially those you can't afford) is more of a risk to the world in general than smoking but people have a written right to that.

Apparently God loves filling the world up with babies but good heavens nobody light up!

A child might be passing by in a fleet of cars driven by fat drunk drivers.

Be seedless and divide.

And give up things because you see the sense in doing so not because of some hysterical one sided puritanical witch-hunt.
