10. pollution solution

A politician from Idaho, that home state of mine where independence and autonomy are worshipped more than God and Mammon, has proposed laws to limit the length of time that cars can idle, to decrease local pollution that can rival LA (not really, but it makes a good sound bite). Next thing you know, someone will suggest that Idahoans give up their pick-ups, SUVs, and 80 mph freeway speeds. But don't mention public transportation or bicycle commuting since the former is for the poor and latter for liberal wimps (like me).
