--in the pocketbook--and maybe we'll start driving more Hybrids. In France, gas is about $7 a gallon, more than double what it is in the States. Here people drive small cars, mostly diesel and they don't drive a lot. When I was living in the States, I was enraged every time I saw a lone driver in their SUV going to the supermarket. It's just so selfish. Now it's so strange for me to watch American TV shows with their enormous, four-door trucks and useless (to them) 4 x 4's and then to watch European shows where everyone is driving a tiny Fiat or Peugot. Even the police drive small cars!
I hope America gets over its self-indulgence and ridiculous head-in-the-sand attitude. We are doing irreparable damage to our environment, our roads, and our world image. And for what? So Mom can load 4 bags of groceries in the back of her trendy over-sized blood for oil machine? I can't wait for Michael Moore to do a movie on this one! Oh, that's right, he's from Detroit.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
