Ask Dr. Helen: Are Hybrid Owners All That…?

I drive a Prius for three reasons:
1. With the tax credit and my habit of driving cars past 150K miles, it should actually pay for itself.
2. It is cool technology (at least when I bought it it was)
3. I don’t want to give any more money than I have to, to oil rich countries that tend to funnel it to those trying to kill infidels.

I am a libertarian/conservative hunter. I live in MI and have seriously thought about returning from a deer hunt and swinging through downtown Ann Arbor with a deer carcass strapped to the roof of the Pruis, just to mess with everyone’s stereotypes. ( but I don’t because the prius is a hatchback with fold down seats and it putting the deer on the roof would mess with my mileage )
