I was just at your site (http://mysite.verizon.net/vzep1vkh/lipog/id3.html) looking at the Hummer. I was thinking how ironic it is that often the people who own those vehicles are the mums and dads of the service men serving in Iraq and that those vehicles are why their sons and daughters are having the bullets flying by their heads.
It seems to me that there is a primary disconnect among many Americans over these connections.

I started driving the Prius after a motorcycle accident, since I could get the same mileage in the car that I did on the bike. I also started driving 59 mph in the right lane as the accident was quite traumatic. Do you know I discovered that I can get to work in the same amount of time as I used to, based on the number of stoplights in Boston. Sur-freakin-prise!
Cordially,
SD

With route planning, you can get excellent mileage at the same time.

Talk about "ironic"

Do you think that those mums and dads care enough about thier
servicemen kids to stop waisting fuel? If I save a gallon of gas, I
import less oil from the middle east, and I provide less funds that
sponsor terrorists. So... Consuming more oil sponsors more terrorism.

The Telsa is a 100% electric car capable of 0-60 in four seconds and has a
range of 250 miles. $100 grand. Well worth it. 125 mile per gallon
equivalent in electricity.

We have to let our military know we care about their well being. Yes, buy a
hybrid or fork over 100 grand for an all electric. Sleep well at night. I
should but I drink way too much coffee.
