I'm certainly not offended and I do definately hope everyone takes any chats with an open mind here that everyone is entitled to their opinion. Would be happy to discuss any of this more but mayhaps we should keep this more photog related..
and SMC, I agree, one of the things I thought of was that it would definately cause the prices to decrease, but could also kill the build quality of some things.. think of the "Wal-mart effect"..
As for the laws.. SMC and I disagree, but I also disagree with most of what our politicians think of for the "greater good" since a lot of it goes directly against the constituion that this country was founded on..
BTW, Japan has much more strict restrictions on vehicle effeciency and emissions.. we aren't the ones that the world gets their ideas from.
