The hippies and tree huggers as you call them are not the only people to push for a stop to burn offs. There are other groups that are very vocal about them.
As they say - The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
The problem these days is that everyone feels they have to push for all or nothing, there seems to be no place for common sense anymore.
This leads me to comment on something else ie: the state of the paddock these days:- both US political sides seem to believe each other to be the worst kind of scumbag, in reality they are likely all good people, just no longer able to see a middle ground. Very sad.
Wrong thread I know but hey it's the paddock right.
I no longer consider myself a participant here but I would also vote for a separate political paddock. IMO the paddock is essential to this forum.
Anyway back to topic. I am sure the government, its bureaucracies and authorities will do their best to be seen to be doing something.
I hope the other Tasmanian GT40 owners are ok, am I the last of us on this forum? If so I need to remember to turn the lights out.
