>From an environmental/health angle, there is a contradiction in the
Califonia campaigns. I think Del Mar, just north of San Diego,
outlawed smoking in public places, on an environment/health platform
(anyone know the particulars?). Yet every 15 or so minutes public
transit busses drive through emitting noxious fumes. And shouldn't
the smog in LA, Riverside, even San Diego now, be considered a kind of
second-hand smoke? It certainly is a residue of multinational
capitalism.
