And to be honest, the planet couldn't give a rat's nostril either, since the earth is not sentient.
However, the effect of the vehicle upon the planet is negative, and causes things to happen, not nice things, that affect you and others.
Therein lies the problem.
If the planet was all yours, you could drive about all day and it wouldn't really matter.
It's the others.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Be on your gaurd "Helen" I am a post-grad scientist (according to my CV anyway) and I am about to take you down.......Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.
Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.Comment
