The market in this country (and the rest of the world for that matter) is severly distorted by all the pollution externalities. You have to pay to have your trash disposed of but you can dump all this stuff in the air and not have to pay for it. Its crazy. There should be some cost associated with dumping all this stuff into the public domain. If people don't want to pay for it they can just put big ballons on the end of their exhaust pipes, and take that crap back to their house - and keep it indoors.
