A few years ago, I seem to recall there was a big push in Congress to get Americans to conserve gas and wean us off of foreign oil. The most prominent plans, to me at least, werElisa

Today is Friday so I'm keeping this one short. Reading through the Ask the B&B from earlier, I noticed that the person asking was leaning towards a Subaru Tribeca because it's safe. Yes, but it's also hideous!! For certain, one of the very ugliest cars made during an ugly time. I might opt for a lacerated spleen rather than be seen in one of those. I really might. And it's an SUV, too. As the reader was asking about a vehicle for her two kids, she's probably thinking that SUVs are safer. They arThe Wal-Mart Dilemma, the Two-Income Trap and the End of Oil
