Where did that happen?!?!?!? Other than in YOUR imagination where and when will all this happen. What HAS happened... is the natural course of events. You could take a couple days to read up the massive efforts to alter the course of animal power on the cities of the 1800's. But you haven't! So... instead you want to repeat the same mistakes. Learn... think... then act.

No. I have no desire to "allow" anything. People will do what they want to do. YOU want to control people!
Best of luck with that.

Oh really? You know that huh? Where, and when did that happen? In some socialist dictator controlled pisswater dirt-patch? Is that what you want for your Mother, family, neighbors, forum members?
