I wish I had a web ref for it, but I heard somewhere that a city councillor
somewhere actually got it banned, after some fake eco-activists brought a long
list of the problems it causes to her attention as a stunt!

Diligent and Intelligent. Diligence promptly executes what intelligence slowly
excogitates. Hurry is the failing of fools; they know not the crucial point and
set to work without preparation. On the other hand, the wise more often fail
from procrastination; foresight begets deliberation, and remiss action often
nullifies prompt judgment. Celerity is the mother of good fortune. He has done
much who leaves nothing over till to-morrow. Festina lente is a royal motto. --
