I find it interesting that this politician clearly loves trees more than he does human life. He states that the fast cars have to be made heavier to withstand high-speed crashes and mentions airbags and steel-reinforced crumple zones as examples of excessive weight. So this is the same as saying that his 100mph cars would not need the excessive safety measures that are commonplace in most modern cars. Take out the air bags, the other "excessive weight" safety factors and lets build a 100mph car that protects the environment and kills the evil fossil fuel consuming human life form that is a parasite on the divine mother earth. These politicians get more loony every year. I often wonder if at night time they partake in Pagan festivals dancing around naked in the forest? I wonder how many lives have been saved by the technology developed by Porsche, BMW, Mercedes that is now found in other slower cars? And what companies are more interested in developing methods to reduce car weight than sports car manufactures?

Well, the pols are elected. Mostly by people who think rules are great as long as someone else's ox is gored. Maybe Gored is the right word, Al.
