[DeTomaso] [Fwd: SEMA Legislative Alert: California Proposal Would Ban Retail Sale of Automotive Refrigerant]

[Donny Williams]

 I  just cannot wait for them to start citing people that fart to 
excessively because it causes greenhouse effect global warming.  Everyone in 
Kalifornia will be mandated to eat bean curd to lower these emissions.   I 
certainly can see Po-lousy and Al Snore heading Senate Bill @$$ Gas.
