Ha! Since there isn't a law against being immature (yet) I say take it one step higher. Swing by the Honda dealer and buy a chrome "HYBRID" emblem for a civic or whatever and stick it on the rear of your bus under the ones that say "Microbus" "Camping" 'Caravelle" "Vanagon" & "Subaru" or whatever and roll your eyes at every SUV driver you see. And then kind of give a knowing condescending nod to every Prius driver you see implying "we know which way the wind blows." (I'm all for the Prius. I'd get one if I could. But I think we're being sold a bit of a bill of goods with these "hybrids," and especially SUV Hybrids and the like. And while I do agree that less is more and all that, I'm not sure that beating your children one day a week makes you all that much better than someone who beats them 4 days a week. You could argue it's a start. And I'd say, true that. But I'm afraid the populace is under the assumption that these hybrids solve the problem when in fact they only add to the problem--yes they add less to the problem than say a new Escalade I would think--but enough less? We're just not very good for this planet.) That's my 2 cents.
