[AT] Profane propane prices; was Fuel prices

[James Bray]

Regarding a few jerks screwing it up for everyone.  I drive 25 miles from work at about 2:00 am each morning.  Sometimes the pollution from outdoor woodburners is so bad that I can't draw a clean breath in the length of that entire trip.
 
There is a motion afoot to outlaw the things, and as somebody who feeds a woodburner in his basement with cured wood, I am all for it.
