It's a total cop-out. A Honda Insight or Toyota Prius are both at the $20K
mark which is pretty low. With 5yr financing and a decent downpayment, you
could easily be under $250/month. You can't afford it? The Earth is so
precious can you afford NOT to have one?

As for being rich I'm not the one who stated that they'd be "right there
with cash in hand" when the fuel cell vehicles came out because they are
"clean". EV/Hybrids are available NOW and are just as clean. Put your money
where your mouth is. Typical liberal...everyone else should take mass
transit (so that the congestion is less for me), everyone else should buy
fuel efficient vehicles (except for me because I *need* my SUV), zoning laws
should be changed to allow higher density (except in my neighborhood because
it would alter the character).

Those eeeeeevil companies like Haliburton!!! Why, they actually purchase oil
on the open market and then sell it!!! I'm forced to buy it!
