...Cambridge, Boston and even Cape Cod refuse to deal in extravagant vehicles. "Eight passenger limousines are as big as we go," explained one Cambridge Limo representative. One stodgy New England limo firm mentioned that they serve fruit juice to underage riders, instead of champagne. How considerate! When in doubt, import from New York...
...there was no 11th-hour reprieve. Her tree was among the first of 470 maples, ashes, elms and horse chestnuts to be cut down, chipped up and burned in an effort to stop the spread of a new and unwelcome Chinese import: the Asian long-horned beetle. It's the first infestation since the pest was originally identified in the U.S. in 1996, when 2,400 trees in Brooklyn and Amityville, N.Y., were lost. But the fast-moving critters could be anywhere.

This would encourage foreign democratization, reduce our economic dependence on volatile nations and invigorate the U.S. oil industry. Increasing gasoline taxes--currently, our prices are far below those of other industrial nations--would prod the auto industry and consumers towards the nascent inevitable revolution of efficient vehicles. It's time for the US to abandon its dirty policies...
