And in the end its not Bush deciding that hybrids are good that will result in their being on the roads. In the end it you and me deciding to buy one that will do it.

I know this was unwelcome to many of the NIMBY "libertarians" and mostly-Rightists here two weeks ago, but this is yet another example of problems we wouldn't need to solve if subsidized and public housing were fairly distributed. First, the suburbs end as scared honkies don't have to keep running away (no, Sebby really did just want a one acre lot because he really, really likes planting an apple orchard!). Then, as people say, "fuck it, might as well live closer to work", there's less driving. Hell, mass transit gets funded, Democrats are driven out of their mobster-politician roles as the working and professional classes return, schools get re-desegregated (this time, voluntarily), Chicago turns into a shining Tokyo on a hill, and you and him don't even need to consider buying a hybrid or e-car.
Its like the unification theory. It just requires the death of the Democratic party and the end to asinine compromises between scared whites (read: just about everybody who protested here) and love-to-spend-other-people's-money liberals.
