Everyone looked around and most focused in on Boston Bob, our resident tree huger, liberal. An odd looking car key hung from his hand and he proudly swung it back and forth.

“It's a Ford Hybrid. I just bought it. Hardly uses any gas or oil but it goes real fast,” Bob said through a devious smile, “your SUV's pay for all that killing. Stop buying the oil and save lives....”
