I think it would be profitable. Alzheimer's? A lot of baby boomers have seen there parents suffer from the disease and would gladly pay to mitigate their risk.
Correct. Currently, it seems that the only thing hybrids truly offer is peace of mind. However, one can take the position that you're 'voting with your dollars' by purchasing these cars. Hopefully, that will mean that more manufacturers produce more hybrids at lower cost, and that a larger pool of used hybrids will be available to buyers who aren't willing to pay a premium for a new or somewhat rare car.
Wow. I have to say, no positive motivation in the world could have prompted you to write such a reply. I read TERRIBLE grammar on the web all the time, as do you. The vast majority comes from American posters, simply because they are the slight majority, as far as I know. Yet, I have the sense to differentiate between ignorance and the realization that people (regardless of nationality) tend to display poor grammar in their web postings. The latter does not negate the validity of the ideas that they are attempting to express. After all, this is not a thesis. Most people write posts in a single pass and do not review them for correctness and clarity. One could argue that attention to such detail in this context is anal retentive (to incorrectly reference Freud) and indicative of a need to feel superior. I live in El Paso, Texas. The city and it's Mexican sister-city, Juarez, comprise one of the largest international communities in the world. Your knock on the Mexican educational system, like many others', is mostly motivated by ignorance. That, in itself, is ironic since it is the assumed ignorance of Mexicans that you are attacking. The truth is that Mexico is NO DIFFERENT from America when it comes to the END RESULT of the education of its citizens. From my experience, many Mexicans in American universities are superior to the average American student with respect to mathematics and hard sciences. However, the MASTERY of a foreign language (in this case English) is often non-existent because it is not requisite, but rather a 'plus'. Nitpicking about grammar and then making a broad assessment of the offender's national system of education only shows your own ignorance, or perhaps, elitism. I assume that you consider yourself to be 'educated'. Can you imagine what impression other 'educated' people outside the U.S. have of the American school system based on what they've seen on the web? Get off of your high horse and open your eyes. America is a FINANCIAL and MILITARY superpower, that is for sure, any other attribution of superiority is subject to argument.
