Vile Invention
Dark was that day when Diesel conceived his grim engine that begot you, vile invention, more vicious, more criminal than the camera even, metallic monstrosity, bale and bane of our culture, chief woe of our Commonweal. How dare the Law prohibit hashish and heroin yet license your use, who inflate all weak inferior egos? Their addicts only do harm to their own lives: you poison the lungs of the innocent, your din dithers the peaceful, and on choked roads hundreds must daily die by chance-medley. Nimble technicians, surely you should hang your heads in shame. Your wit works mighty wonders, has landed men on the Moon, replaced brains by computers, and can smithy a "smart" bomb. It is a crying scandal that you cannot take the time or be bothered to build us, what sanity knows we need, an odorless and noiseless staid little electric brougham.
W.H. Auden (1907-1973), A Curse
*the diesel engine is indeed a vile invention if we take into consideration the damage it had done to our cities.
And to think that VW, etc.. had cheated to create the illusion that their diesel cars are clean according to standards.
Consider this, MM is a dirty city, so too is Baguio. There is a chance that these cities could be made cleaner by 2020.
Vile invention? not anymore! The diesel engine has been tamed: nuvinuvi.blogspot.com
