From Moxie :

Laurie DavidSo how do you react to the Bush administration’s stance on global warming? It’s terrifying. {snip} I’m not focused on ‘08. I’m focused on right now. Here’s a perfect analogy: if you had a choice between being in a 5 mile-per-hour car accident or a 50 mile-per-hour car accident, what would you choose? I would choose everything we have to do avoid the larger collision ahead. I think this is perhaps the most compelling reason ever devised to buy a hybrid. Since they don’t go more than 5 miles-per-hour, no one will die in car accidents. Ever! Thanks Laurie David!
