From the refining of raw materiels to end-of-life recycling, modern batteries are toxic as all hell.<br /><br />THen you have the REE magnets in the high output electric motors/generators.<br /><br />Then you have the -fact- that the packs in those hybrids are only good for 3-5 years, and the replacement cost is more than replacing the entire -car-.<br /><br />Which means you're changing out cars every 3-5 years.<br /><br />While I'm driving a 1982 vw diesel that gets 50mpg, and has been chugging along for 30 some odd years. So, better gas milage, -and- lower carbon footprint than the -SIX- hybrids you would have had to buy to replace it.<br /><br />But then, a 30 year old VW econobox,even a well kept one, isn't 'sexy' like a new hybrid.SewerDwellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05783264005006417842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-28403419914093217852013-11-16T18:10:55.781-08:002013-11-16T18:10:55.781-08:00well you come up with brilliant genius batting at ...well you come up with brilliant genius batting at 1.000!

Given your analysis, which I agree with, it would make sense that they elevate their own minimal successes by minimizing the successes of others. If I can only build a one foot high column of snow it will look pathetic next to your eight foot high column. If I can tear yours down, however, and keep it from being more than a couple feet tall, my efforts now look relatively better.<br /><br />Anon 4:19 It is impossible to discuss a topic without generalizing. You can't address every single individual situation. What you can do, however, is determine what "most" people in a situation do and discuss that. There will always be exceptions, they don't change the general rule. There are many good articles out there on "generalization" including, I think, a podcast or Youtube video by the Captain.heresolonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00461382067580153600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-32230296063843253652013-11-15T16:38:27.347-08:002013-11-15T16:38:27.347-08:00Congrats Anon,

How...I DO shop at Wholefoods and drive a hybrid.. <br /><br />However I also DO have a full-time job that is technical and very productive.<br /><br />Please don't generalize.. I work very hard so that I can be part of the solution and shop where I want to so that I can vote with my dollars.<br /><br />I'm not being compassionate because of my EGO.. I'm doing so because I genuinely care about the environment and what we're doing with it. I question everything and don't just follow the herds and take the blue pill. <br /><br />Personally, I can't deny that some things just feel wrong. This isn't an ego thing.. it's just a compassion thing. <br /><br />For example, this is why I shop at Whole Foods: http://wegmanscruelty.com/<br /><br />It's the least I can do although I'm too selfish to quit my high paying job and really make a difference.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-82432944620270114962013-11-15T14:53:04.538-08:002013-11-15T14:53:04.538-08:00"Being a leftist requires you be intellectual..."Being a leftist requires you be intellectually dishonest.

However, you're theory does not explain the high-end progressives. They populate Wall Street and Silicon Valley. They are smart, educate and extremely hard working. They don't want other people to pay for them, nor do they want adulation.<br /><br />Rather, their very success convinces them that they know what is best for the rest of us.
