QUOTE OF THE DAY
"I think the environment should be put in the category of our national security. Defense of our resources is just as important as defense abroad. Otherwise what is there to defend?"
- - Robert Redford, Yosemite National Park dedication, 1985
RHINO HERE: It's come to my attention that Budget Rent a Car is now renting electric cars and electric/gas hybrid vehicles at many of their California locations. If you've considered buying one, but wondered what driving one of these vehicles of the future would be like, and if you live in California, go try one on for size. Or, if you live elsewhere, call Budget and tell them you wish they were renting them in your state too.
Lets take the war against terrorism to a more intimate level, that of personal responsibility. Go electric, go hybrid, and be assured, Shrub and his oil buddies will be peeved if you do.
Below is a link to assist you in quickly signing a petition sponsored by the Democratic Party, lambasting Shrub & Co for their continuing disrespect of our environment. If you do click the link, you'll also find quick access to sign up for a few issue oriented email newsletters such as:
