In other words, they saw that this "rule" would be unenforcable.

Yet in another echo, the *PROPOSAL* is treated as if it is already fact.

It would not surprise me. Both my Porsche and H2 are black. They are
less dangerous in bright sunlight because they are easier to see. Try
to pick out a white car in bright sun. Liberals don't care about
safety, just their agendas.

Here's the facts. Not the rumors.

Bunch of hot air? California isn't banning black cars
By Matt Nauman

Would California really ban black cars to fight global warming?

A rumor to that effect raised hackles on the blogosphere last week. Even
conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh weighed in, urging
listeners to rush out and buy a black car before they were pulled from
the market.

But while a state agency was indeed mulling the relationship between
automobile color and greenhouse gases, the rumored ban on black wasn't
actually true.

"It's completely fallacious," said Stanley Young, a spokesman for the
state's Air Resources Board, the agency supposedly behind the ban. "At
no time was it mentioned, contemplated or proposed that we would ban or
restrict any color."

The rumor arose as the board considered requiring reflective car paints
and windshields. The premise was that a cooler car would require a
driver to use less air conditioning, which would require less gasoline,
which would mean fewer greenhouse-gas emissions.

Who's the fool?

The fool believing a stupid rumor?
Or the bigger fool defending the fool?
