Go see all about it Loyal readers know I've got one toe pointed to green leanings; I recycle aluminum cans (turns out recycling paper is worse for the environment than throwing it away), I combine errands, I take my clothes to a green dry cleaners, blah blah; it's very little, I just do what I can do. But I'm getting on the high-mileage car thing lately; NOT because of global warming. That's where me n the enviro whackados part ways; I think the earth might very well be heating up. But for the same reason it was hot enough to farm on Greenland 1000 years ago... it's cyclical. There are numerous scientists--don't be fooled by the liberal media that all scientists are on Gore the Liar's side--who say this is cyclical and the greenhouse gas effects are nominal compared to the sun's impact. Mars is heating up right now too and to my knowledge it doesn't have SUVs on its roads. Er, surfaces, er,whatever. So no, my high mileage car desires stem from our ability to completely sever all ties with those who believe freedom is evil; those who think that their countries should be ruled with Sharia law--the laws that say a woman should be stoned for being raped unless there were four witnesses otherwise; those who think the world should look like 600 AD, not 2007 AD. Those people do not deserve one dime more of our money, so it's time to turn away from our high mileage cars and, well, GET SMART! Check out these adorable Smart cars; they get a whopping 60 MPG, and are about as safe as any passenger vehicle, AND, you can part two in the same space as one normal-sized car. MWB say, Get Smart! They'll be available in the US in 2008.
