Nobody is quite wearing a halo in this dispute.
I can see other groups coming out now.....being of a particular religious group that frowns on lights of any type....so they believe the removal of tail lights is necessary. Another group frowns on power steering, so they remove the belt to their power steering. Another group believes that seatbelts are a religious issue, so they remove the seatbelts. Another group believes that glass of any type is a problem, so they remove all windows on a car.
We are approaching a point in American society where people are going to be focusing on just about every single issue and making themselves into all kinds of religious groups.
