even if this is true its no justification for driving a highly inefficient vehicle. If anything the same point of
view can be applied to both chalk use and driving. Just use as little as possible.

and
Phil,
I bet the hummer is also excellent for enforcing your right to drive in the bicycle lanes. I bet those tree
hugging greeny cyclists dont look so self satisfied as the go flying out of the way. And its not like they
paid for the roads. It really is a versatile and practical vehicle. A sensible choice. I drive a forester and
despite the name it really is just useless for track clearing.

just kidding
except about driving a forester and I know that this is somewhat hypocritical. However I have two kids
and a wife and the forester is a very safe, practical vehicle and is quite effiecient for an all wheel drive
wagon. We also try to drive as little as is practical. If there was a hybrid equivalent of the forester we
would probably have one of those instead.
