You're missing a fundamental part of human society. Image, perception, illusion, and belief matter, not substance. The nobel 'peace prize' was just given to a man who in reality has continued and expanded war.

When I see a Prius going 80, it makes me wonder if saving fuel is priority #1. -- Cameron Kaiser * ckaiser(a)floodgap.com * posting with a Commodore 128 Computer Workshops: http://www.armory.com/%7Espectre/cwi/ Floodgap Systems: http://www.floodgap.com/ personal page: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/

Because there are places to put their dogshit without having to carry it all around the neighborhood or leave it in your driveway? (But seriously, I agree with Brent, even the Nobel prize comment.) I know I drive to walk on the boardwalk (Carlsbad seawall) because there are girls in bikinis there. I could walk in my neighborhood, indeed it would be a better workout due to the terrain, but the social aspects (that is, having people about in a pleasing environment, not necessarily interacting with them) make it worthwhile to commute. Of course, I don't drive a Prius, so I can't be smug anyways. http://www.southparkstudios.com/guide/1002 jg -- @home.com is bogus. http://www.flickr.com/photos/joel_garry/3091020753/

Likely won't have to happen for several years, but eventually it will have to happen. Those specialized NiMH type batteries have to be recycled/discarded somewhere. In California, even NiMH batteries are considered to be universal waste, and so they cannot simply be dumped in the trash.
