Prepare Yourselves, This Is The Lunacratic Idea Pool

London is upping the cost of simply driving into London for larger vehicles.
LONDON - Drivers of gas-guzzling cars will have to pay nearly $50 a day to enter central London, triple the current charge, while the most fuel-efficient vehicles will get a free ride, the mayor said Tuesday.
Mayor Ken Livingstone, who introduced the daily congestion charge on trucks and cars entering central London in 2003 to cut traffic and pollution, said the change is primarily aimed at the big cars owned by people in wealthy parts of the capital.
A lot of American politicians are copying what the Europeans are doing on the neo-socialist global warming front. This has already been tried and may have even passed in New York if I remember correctly.
America: Land of the formerly free, and home of the wealth redstributors.
You know, if this crap continues, where will the next generation of Pilgrims go to? Didn’t our ancestors flee a government like this a few hundred years ago?
Closed circuit to principled freedom loving conservatives: McCain, Pawlenty, and Coleman but into this crap.

The only solution I know is to aggressively agree with their premise and then DEMAND to know EXACTLY how much temperatures will come down if these measures are adopted. After all, the other laws we pass must have an “environmental impact statement,” right? Why shouldn’t that apply here?
