Joe,
When the automobile was first coming into vogue, it was hailed as the end of
pollution. We occasionally confront a road apple in our modern lives, and
think it's kinda smelly, but quaint, and in its own way, almost cute. A
symbol of simpler times gone by.
Can you imagine just how deep the sh*t would be if we all had horse drawn
carriages instead of cars? Not to mention that those horses keep on
polluting whether they're being used or not! Manure, properly composted is
an aid to agriculture, especially on a small farm, but large quantities of
it, laying in a city street, it is a breeding ground for disease and when
run off into rivers and into the sea, is a severe environmental problem.
The internal combustion engine is not anywhere near perfect, and it will be
replaced in relatively short order with something cleaner, but don't look
backward at horses as a step forward. If you do, you're the one wearing the
blinders, not Ol' Paint.
