A guy walks into a tavern. As he walked up to the bar he noticed a twelve-inch man playing the piano, so he asked the bartender, "What's that all about?"
The bartender told him he that would tell him later. So the guy asked the bartender for a drink.
The bartender said, "Before you get your drink, you get to rub the magic beer bottle and make one wish."
"Okay," said the guy. He went over to the magic beer bottle and rubbed it. Poof. Out came a genie.
The genie, of course, said, "You have one wish."
The guy thought about it and then wished for a million bucks. A cloud of smoke filled the room,
and then both the genie and the guy disappeared. In a few minutes, the guy reappeared back in the bar with a million ducks all around him.
The guy was astounded and said to the bartender, "Hey! I didn't want a million ducks."
The bartender replied, "Do you think I wanted a twelve-inch Pianist?"
Whatever happened to "Think Globally, Act Locally"?
I don't have to have an issue affect me directly to have a strong opinion on the matter. If more people looked beyond their own concerns and considered the big picture more often, we'd be better off.
I've noticed my mileage usually hovers around 45-50 mpg in the summertime, but much lower, like 35-40 in the winter.
I live in Seattle, so I can imagine someone living in a colder climate could complain that hybrid cars get much worse mileage than promised.
On the other hand, if I lived in San Diego, I figure my mileage would be about what the EPA promised me in the first place (52/48mpg).
As it stands, I'm happy with the mileage I get, and fact that I'm polluting less than the average car. And it helps if you don't speed too much, and accelerate gradually, but that applies to any car.
