Who cares what goes on in other echoes? Were you not informed that importing
things from other echoes is not allowed?

Where did I defend anyone?

I gave you several urls to go find out for yourself that the story is all over
the web.

One has to dig to find out that the entire thing was about requiring reflective
paints. When the head of CARB said that black was a problem, the blogosphere
went wild with news that CARB was looking to ban black cars.

It is understandable that many people believed it because it sounds like
something California would do.

A fool is a person who would go to the California DMV site to check on the
story when the DMV has nothing to do with environmental issues.
