Back in 1985, when the year 2000 was the future and 2012 the age of the machines, the EPA helped pass a law. This law that would come into effect in the far future, October 1 2012 it seems.
The bill was called 'Tires Are Not the Future.' This law was setup so that it could not be repealed. The law states the following...
"Today, automobiles rules the streets. As these automobiles get older, they go through many tires. Tires that are threadbare, tires that have blown out. Even some tires changed because the owner didn't like how they looked.
The purpose of this bill is to look into the future and see the effect old tires have on our landfills. And by looking at the future determining when the tire should be phased out.
Several noteworthy scientist and historians agree, by the year 2000 we should expect the flying car. A car that does not need tires. This is the future we will see. You see it in movies, flying cars a fast approaching reality.
Upon passage of this bill, measures will be taken to ensure that it is carried out at it's appropriate time. This bill, being unanimously supported by Congress and signed by the president, will take effect on October 1st 2012.
This bill cannot be repealed until 2022, ten years after it becomes law.
With flying cars a soon to be reality, we anticipate that their will be certain citizens who wish to keep their land-based vehicles. With the time-frame set, we believe we have given these tire enthusiast time to make the change.
No more tires equals less pollution and smaller landfills.
Authored and signed, October 1st, 1985."
