I think we can ALL agree that the media generally prefer hysteria,
because it sells! (You used to be in the newspaper business, right, so I
probably don't need to tell you this!)

because of the waste and largesse of his generation, and, dammit, we should
all be driving Pintos and building homes in the sides of hills!

The irony being that Pintos aren't really that efficient anyway. A car I
had as a student had the Pinto 2.0L engine. It was not only slower than
my current car, it was less economical too. However, the Pinto unit was
simple and pretty easy to work on.
