Prius Pride

Speaking of Prius’ and their owners, we see that hybrid motivations are not so altruistic.

The New York Times (a source normally not worth trusting), carries a piece noting the half of recent Prius owners bought their mobile tin cans because “it makes a statement about me.”  In other words, less than half of Prius owners are making the purchase in order to lower air pollution or reduce American dependence on foreign oil. 

They are buying Prius’ to inflate their egos, evidently emulating their God Gore. As one insufferable simp said “I really want people to know that I care about the environment … I like that people stop and ask me how I like my car.”

Prius pride goeth before the fall.

    I’m not really a cowgirl, but I would love to see everyone riding horses. And then using the dung in their organic gardens. It’s a shame vegetables are not as exciting as fast cars.
