And not so strangely it's the side who buys the Prious, who demands others drive what THEY deem appropriate.
Look, this is a dire situation. It is EXACTLY the same and extremely comparable to small towns starting fire departments, sanitation departments, police departments.
You don't have the personal freedom to "choose" to crap in the street every day because it destroys the environment, its' hazardous to peoples' health and its indecent.
You shouldn't have the personal freedom to use a vehicle to crap in the sky every day. It's EXACTLY the same.
and on a related note, perhaps Ami has access to this info, but I heard the logistics of putting together and/or transporting Prius parts, especially the battery, cost much more in both fuel (that dreaded oil based gasoline) and shipping logistics, than a Hummer's parts & battery. In otherwords, to save the world, the Prius destroys it. Oh, the irony
All the more reason to force the domestic auto industry to start building hybrids immediately.
And yes, I do mean FORCE as in regulate harshly and in possibly nationalize the auto industry.
Don't like it? Move away, loser.
