gee none of this would have happened if the lady just drove one of those electric hybrids /sarc

I know you marked it, but I'm curious why you decided to throw that in.

Electric hybrids are superior in many ways - fuel efficiency, emissions, etc. - to the SUV in which these boys died.

No one, however, ever says that electric hybrids will prevent stupid adults from harming children. Did your comment just come from your hatred of hybrids?

Well yeah, but they are far inferior in lots of other ways.. Size, hauling capacity, safety, not looking like a fag.. etc.

Only superior if money is no object, and energy efficiency is everything. At this point, the electric hybrids are just fancy toys. You would have to put several hundred thousand miles on just to break even when compared to similarly equipped cars.

Oh wait, this is a post a stupid woman who deserves a firing squad. I got sidetracked.

We have a hybrid, and a kid would die in it if they were left in it for 5 hours.

It really doesn't matter what kind of car it is.

(By the way, hubby and I are die-hard republicans and my husband loves the hybrid because of the cool technology and the way it drives. He likes that it's better for the environment, but wouldn't drive it if he had to make any sacrifices on convenience.)
