I still can't see all those stuff coming in via my web mail account on the site, but 
this is the only way I can post soo..

//Another snip from Larry
Actually not, according to Toyota's there was a four month waiting 
list for their hybrid car. I guess given that waiting list those cars 
are so unpopular. 

//They don't make that many, so yes, there is a wait.



I do not like the way you demonize those who may disagree with you on 
the environment. Its the same as if I called you a greedy, uncaring 
arrogant environment raping psychopath. In other words, your 
characterization of those who engage in pro-social and 
pro-environmental behaviors is completely inappropriate. 

I didn't demonize anyone.  I simply made a counter generalization to the 
generalization that all SUV owners were either yuppie business people or soccer moms, 
which is not the case.  Just as my generalization, that all hybrid owners, are 
environmentalists, is not the case.  However, I see it is ok for you to take anyone 
who uses an SUV for what you consider to be not an intended use and impose on them 
your will by raising their taxes and telling them they are destroying the environment. 
 I am assuming you are referring to my calling environmentalists "wackos", when 
referring to demonizing them.  Tell me Larry how would you charachterize someone who, 
throws acid on SUVs, violates people personal property by sticking bumper stickers on 
SUV that state, "i'm changing the climte", members of the ELF that burn down homes 
because they don't agree with where they are being built.  Those types of behavior to 
me deserve the classification wacko, and I realize that not everyone who considers 
themselves and environmentalist acts this way.  Whether I agree or disagree with 
someones view point has no bearing on whether or not I consider someone wacko.  There 
are many people with on the far right that I consider wackos too.

you're more of an extremist that I thought. The person who organized 
the anti-SUV campaign is Ariana Huffington, not exactly a left wing 
type. Lets be honest about it SUV's pollute more and use more gas 
than a car. Its something that cannot continue forever. 

Personally I would rather see a stiff luxury tax placed on SUV's for 
all those who do not use them for their original intended use - as a 
work vehicle.

I think Nick covered this well.  What is intended use and who determines intended use? 
 I use my SUV to tow a camper and a boat, I also use it get groceries and I even strap 
the family Christmas tree on top sometime in November.  Occasionally I use it to go 
off road in Michigan when I go home.  I use it in the winter to get around in the 
snow.  So what is the intended use of my SUV then?
