    Tree huggers and their electric cars thinking they are saving the planet. Mistake #1, that energy has to come from somewhere! Fossil fuels!

    Where does the line need to be drawn - $.05, $.50, $50?

    Is theft ok if it's "just a little"?

    At my house: Yes
    Someone else's house: I ask first, just like asking for a drink of water, or to use the restroom, etc.
