I feel your pain...

Seems the average American lacks basic critical thinking skills. This could be taught in schools, however if the average american watches 6 hours of TV each day. Being bombarded by commericals showing fast, sexy cars. I see little chance of changing peoples minds, unless we have lines at the pump for $10 gas. Then you will see change!

I remember the gas lines of 1973 and 1979 in the USA. People really changed driving habits, for about a year. Then it was like nothing ever happened.

I would ignore the fools. They will ask for your advice when we see long gas lines and 10 bucks a gallon again. I am confident this will happen in our lifetime.
