Poll Says Americans Choose Auto Safety Over Fuel Economy Of course we’re going to choose safety first. Rocketing sales of SUV’s have proven that. We don’t need to change the CAFE standards. We need to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Then gas will always be cheaply available and we can afford to drive safer cars.
Got this comic strip in my e-mail this morning. I thought it was pretty funny. You probably have to be an UNIX geek to really understand.

Have you seen the new NARAL adds on TV? I saw the first one during the Olympics, right after Sarah Hughes won her gold medal. They must have picked this time because a lot of impressionable young girls were watching the ice-skating competition.
