Certainly that is so. I was involved with automotive pollution
control devices in the '60's.

Did you feel at the time that it was unreasonable for the government to be
mandating pollution controls? That perhaps just the "market" would sort
things out -- consumers would demand cleaner-running cars once air pollution
became bad enough?

I'm just curious what your stance is on how society ought to decide what
reasonable standards for pollution (or, almost equivalently, fuel efficiency)
ought to be. Do you support Bush's approval yesterday or legislation to
require average fuel economy to increase to 30MPG by 2010?

By the way, the TCP/IP kid is certainly cute! Congratulations...
