     And apparently you're someone who doesn't have to deal with allergies
and the attendent problems they cause.  When the plants come to bloom in
the Spring, I often have problems breathing.  Of course, in your zealotry,
I'm sure you'll explain to me that emissions go up in the Spring or some
other form of nonsense.  I'll certainly not disagree with your statements
about the dangers of air pollution, but I see no reason why you should
ignore the possibility of physiological causes for various maladies.  It
may be that the person you're responding to has some sort of physiological
problem with his nasal passages.  Or he may have a quack for a doctor and
actually be suffering from allergies.  Or it may be that pollution is
getting the better of him.  Given that you've not examined him or read his
medical records, however, I'd say offhand that your "cars are the source of
all evil in the world" ideology has just made you look like a fool.
