Yaris vs. Prius C

[why?]

rofl. it is so nice when I don't have to make fun of leftists. Oil companies make very little money compared to most other industries, plus they have to put in far more than they ever get back, and governments always steal far more than the companies make.

the environment will be fine, with or without us. There is nothing humans can do to really hurt the planet. Now our own survival is another topic, but even with that everything will be ok, even the founder of greenpeace admits the eco movement has been taken over by communists.

----------------------------

Oh, and on the the topic at hand, it really depends on what amenities you want. I love getting 39 mpg, but the spartan interior is starting to annoy me.

^^^^^Yep... and it's all about wealth redistribution. It isn't FAIR that some countries avoid chaos and are able to organize and harness resources for development...................... When one points out to a leftie that forcing the entire industrialized world to ratify AND comply with the Kyoto Protocol would reduce the Gross World Product enough that millions of people would starve, the leftie will usually change the subject (silence would be golden ).

That first part is true.

As for the second part half of the oil ever formed is already in the ocean. It was formed under permiable rock layer and over hundreds of millions of year, worked its way upwards and eith into the oceans or if on land was washed into the oceans by rain. The oil we now drill was trapped by impremiable layer of rock.

Anyway the oceans are polluted by salt and the discharge of volcanoes under water. Land life would die if washed into the ocean. We cant drink salt water.

Yet mamals live in it and they CAN drink salt water.

Whatever happens life will adapt. There have been mass extinctions before and they will happens again. Life always bounces back!

Just that the next time when it does it won't have ipods.
