If anything it would be the combustion engine that fails that incline. Electric motors have more torque than you can shake a stick at. But if you like noise, smells, rising costs and reliance on the Arab world then keep drawing stupid obtuse cartoons.

One of my best friends is a doctor (of medicine) who heads up a major department of the World Health Organisation. I think he would be disgusted by the (usual) politicisation of an organisation which has been invaluable to so many people in the world. Without their dedicated hard work many of the major diseases would have gone pandemic throughout the entire world by now. Yet some of you seem to confuse medicine with liberalism. Step back and see how pathetic your attitude is.

Note where you confuse "improvement" with "alternative".

Slowly I start to understand where the US economic problems have their roots.

But to actually tackle alternatives...
You see, there was a time when people used horses and carriages. Then came along a men called Benz. He inventend the automobile.
Man, those things stank, made noise and were slower then both horses and carriages. They broke down all the time. No future there, as so many of the people of that time said.

If only we had listened to them, just right now, the world would have been such a better place. Those darn "progressives".

My favourite remark on this subject is from the Young Ones:

Rick (to hippy Neil): Don't you ever sleep?
Neil: Sleep gives you cancer man. Everybody knows that!

Only slightly less funny, someone has compiled a website listing the Daily Mail's (Brit tabloid scare mongers) attempt to classify absolutely everything known to man as either a cancer cause or cure (and sometimes BOTH at the same time)
