Sure, pal!

I think Rusk should be able to dump his old car crankcase oil in the
storm drain, throw his broken tv's and refrigerators on the side of the
road, and burn witches at the stake. fortunately, not everyone is
equally as stupid.

I strain my dirty crankcase oil and pour it in my household fuel oil tank.
I also dump my old TVs and other items on the side of the road, but only
twice a year in the spring and fall.
The highway department picks them up in their regularly scheduled
cleanup program.
Which reminds me, I have to get the stuff out before next week, so the
'pickers' get first dibs on it..

While I have few illusions about GEs motives, the end result is for
the better and allowing ppl to adhere to outdated energy wasting
technologies does us no good in the long run. Rusk wants to make his
own incandescent light bulb, no one is stopping him. Edison did it.
But, supplying the lazy self-indulgent masses with highly detrimental
technologies, like polluting cars, should not be allowed jes cuz it
may preserve someone's freedom of choice.
