Hybrid sales driven by many reasons
Interesting little article in MotorTrend today about what is driving the popularity of hybrid cars, at least in Northern Colorado. In Hybrid Popularity Driven By More Than Tax Credits, it is noted that, "car buyers may wait from five to six weeks to upwards of three months and longer for a hybrid. Tax credits and insurance discounts offered to hybrid car owners have probably spurred some buyers to the showroom, but aren't driving the strong sales of hybrid automobiles, say area car sellers."
Why is it so hard to believe that someone might buy a hybrid to help fight pollution, or to help fight foreign oil dependency, instead of just trying to save money?
Why is spending money on bling, bling so unquestioned, yet spending money on trying to do the right thing so questioned?

I've been a vegetarian for most of my life and its the same type of question. Its ok to eat in excess but why eat healthy? Why do the right thing when you can eat the standard American diet and have fun. Of course, I rarely get sick and everyone wishes they could have my waistline. Americans will never learn it seems.
Is it just Americans? Is it consumerism?
I realize that people need to be free to make choices, even bad choices. That's what America is about - I think.
Freedom to wastefully guzzle gas today, doesn't give you economic freedom tomorrow.
Freedom to eat like a pig today, doesn't give you the freedom of good health tomorrow.
Actions do have consequences, it seems as if we pretend they don't.
Has America lost its vision, has it ever had one?
