Merced Sun-Star: One of the reasons society has so many rules and regulations is because its so difficult for most of us to do the right thing on our own. Take driving, for example. Most of us know that cars and trucks are responsible for 40 percent of our states air pollution. Most of us can see that we live in a bowl, that traps emissions in our air.
