Letter: Conserving resources the best approach

Absolutely, Richard. Corporations have us mocking the very people who know what is best, and it's sad to see. Terms like "tree-hugger" demean the very people who know and who act on behalf of the common good. Just showe me how mindless we've become!

BTW, that Honda you were talking about had a 450 HOnda motorcycle engine in it. Nobody has mentioned that a car like that would be great around town and if need be, a larger car could be kept in the garage and used sparingly. Auto makers seem to be intent on selling whole cars, not teams of cars. If you want areal eye opener, check out the electric car that was so promising, passed all tests, then suddenly disappeared while the manufactureres demolished all remaining cars- no fuel at all, just electricity!

It a matter that about 25% of the population (maybe less, but in times of stress like these that seems about right) can and is trained to go completely deaf and foam at the mouth when they hear people called ceratin names, and once their "Master's Voice" has conditioned them to do so, very few ever manage to be themselves, human's with what we generally call "free will" again.
Do not expect dishonest people to make sense, since to them - people like Dick Cheney - truth is whatever serves to give them power (they are "businessmen" in the sense the Mafia use the expression.) And work to reach those who mistakenly believe that, in this democracy at this time, it is NOT necessary - and against their own best interests in every way - to serve such dehumanized "masters."
