Long range hybrid?

My 2006 Prius gets 350 to 450 miles a tank - usually right around 400 miles.

No plugging it in, it charges when you coast and break or when the engine is running and is putting out enough power for moving the car and charging the battery. Plus, when the car is stopped the engine doesn't just idle, it stops - no pollution when the car is stopped.

I am in total agreement with your outrage about unethical business dealings, but I have to wonder how many people, working in a good-paying position at such a company, would actually quit their job if they knew said company was involved in immoral or unethical business practices. Some, probably, but I have no doubt that many would turn a blind eye and sleep quite well at night.

I was told by a Muslim that the actual ruling in the Koran is that you should not "allow alcohol to rule you". His interpretation was that he should not get drunk, and was quite happy to drink a single beer.

The same thing is related in the Bible as well: Proverbs 20:1; 23:29-35; 31:2-9; Isaiah 5:21-23; 56:9-12; Hosea 4:11-12, 1 Peter 4:1-5. Yet, I know too many people who claim to be Christian and still drink to excess.
