So does car exhaust but no one seems to care about that. The hospital
down the street has "Clean Air Zone" signs all over it stating that it's
verboten to smoke anywhere on the premises. But people can and do sit
with their engine idling 10 feet from the door to the ER for hours.
(sorry this is one of my pet peeves - I am not pro-secondhand smoke but
anti-hypocrisy)
I'm not a hypocrite. I *have* to drive so I can go to work. I'd
say a good 85% of people have to drive if they work outside the home.
No one has to smoke, period. Trust me, I know. I used to smoke two
packs a day (27 years ago). Now, if we could just get some clean fuels
we could clear up the exhaust problem but that'll take a while I think.
Check this out for some positive movements in that direction...

Apparently upon the beginning of the barrage, the donkey broke
discipline and panicked, toppling the cart. At that point, the rockets
disconnected from the timer, leaving them strewn around the street.
Tethered to the now toppled cart, the donkey was unable to escape before
the arrival of U.S. troops.
