And he had some pot, as well as the prescription drugs Xanax, Valium, Vicodin and Adderall (and no prescription for any of them). But hey, if I had to live with Al Gore, and drive a Prius, I’d probably need all those drugs too. :lol: [http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/07/05/gore.son.arrest/index.html](http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/07/05/gore.son.arrest/index.html) Al was probably most upset about the 100mph, because at that speed you’re wasting a lot of gas and putting out way too much CO2. ---

A riddle: Why has the Toyota Prius enjoyed such success, with sales of more than 400,000 in the United States, when most other hybrid models struggle to find buyers? One answer may be that buyers of the Prius want everyone to know they are driving a hybrid. The Prius, after all, was built from the ground up as a hybrid, and is sold only as a hybrid. By contrast, the main way to tell that a Honda Civic, Ford Escape or Saturn Vue is a hybrid version is a small badge on the trunk or side panel. The Prius has become, in a sense, the four-wheel equivalent of those popular rubber “issue bracelets” in yellow and other colors — it shows the world that its owner cares. In fact, more than half of the Prius buyers surveyed this spring by CNW Marketing Research of Bandon, Ore., said the main reason they purchased their car was that “it makes a statement about me.” Only a third of Prius owners cited that reason just three years ago, according to CNW, which tracks consumer buying trends… Fucking priuses ---

Taking a combination of 5 depressants makes time appear to go faster? This is condtridictary to Discovery Science programs on “_Time_”, “_Exploring Time_”, and “_How Animals Tell Time_”, where in labs rats were conditioned to activate a button in 20 sec intervals. After being subjected to marajuana the preceived time went slower, not faster. Adversely when subjected to cocaine time went faster. Just another example of closed minded conservative views on the effects of marajuana. ---

He doesn’t ACTUALLY give a shit. While preaching about conserving at home, he lives in a mansion that burns 2500 dollars worth of gas and electricity per MONTH. He went through 221 megawatt-hours in 2006. Thats kind of like he was personally responsible for burning well over 100 tons of coal last year, while he was telling us to conserve. Don’t ya love politicians? ---
