   Ah yes, but these carbon collodial suspensions do not fit
too well with human lung tissue. Have you ever thought that you
are smoking several cigarettes while you sit behind that
belching diesel truck?

   The power of the trucking interests has always amazed me
when I see one of these trucks. Yes, they DO lobby the state
legislatures about their harmless collodial suspensions,...
and how many jobs would be lost if they had to fix the
problem... and how they could not afford to do business if they
had to fix the problem .....
