I'm quite sure there are a whole range of different opinions behind
this petition.  Just because the Times "journalist"[1] managed to dig
up some dirt about two wackos by looking up their address on the
petition in Google hardly means that their views hold for everyone.  I
for one welcome anything that can be done to reduce carbon emissions
and improve access to public transport.  It's just that road pricing
is a regressive, intrusive and ineffective way to do this.

Rich.

[1] I use the term advisedly because the level of journalism in that
article was below the level of a myspace blog posting.
