And as a CA resident who just moved 2 weeks ago today, I can tell you that they don't need stickers for people take out their green angst on big trucks - it happens anyway! The fact that your home basically is your truck makes you greener than most, unless perhaps you drove a bicycle and lived in an earthship!! I don't think it is the intelligent liberals coming up with this crap - its the people who A. want something to do at work and B. are trying to ring more money out of people for more wasteful govt...

I live in a 5th wheel trailer, which is why I need a Dodge, to pull it whenever I move my house. I fuel up with biodiesel whenever I can, and try to lighten my footprint this way. Considering the fact that I don't own a stick home, even with a Dodge diesel my carbon footprint is much, much smaller than the typical suburban home dweller. Does that stupid sticker take THAT into consideration? NO! This labeling program is just fascist, and instantly makes anyone with a certain kind of vehicle a target for angry people who want to take out their aggressions on someone. This doesn't take an ounce into consideration the tons of other things I and others might do to live green. For the first time, I have to agree with the neocons. All it does is give some fatass DMV worker more work and more job security in an already f-'d up organization. Now I know, I'm never, ever moving back to Cali.
