Greenies

I often hear about Greenies, Tree Huggers, etc, but have never dealt with them. Are they really that common? How do YOU deal with them? I would probably big foot their Prius.
I don't see why someone else would care what I drive. Why is it any of their business?
Well, How do YOU folk's deal with them?
What would You do if confronted by them?

I like to be the bigger man usually. Just kind of to each their own.

None of them have a necessity for a truck so they dont see a reason to own one. Most of us need our trucks.

Or, if I'm in the right mood I tell them that I have 2 jobs. In the summer I work in the rainforest cutting down trees, and in the winter I work in the arctic clubbing baby seals. That usually shocks them enough that they dont respond.

I always wanted to put one of these stickers above my exhaust tip...


The other thing to do is ask them about all the pollution the batteries in their Prius have caused to be made and their proper disposal...

I read an interesting article on the true "mileage" hyrbids get. Back east where a lot of the energy is coal produced electric cars only get the equivalent of 35 mpg. In some places (California) they do better than 100 mpg. Depends a lot on the local infrastructure.
