Your critics of the creative class who would classify them as social reprobates and pure bohemians might take note that none of the top states for online pornography consumption are creative class states; quite the contrary: http://www.cnbc.com/id/31905302?slide=1 Richard, totally off-topic, but I thought you would be interested in the piece listing the top states for online pornography consumption.

A person who genuinely has weighed the difference the car will make for the environment (not to mention the economy) answering that the car "makes a statement about me," while another person who has instead weighed the difference the car will make for their own (self-)image could check off that same response.

Now starting tax-incentives for buying green car in Japan, but that's not all. Honda challenged to release new Hybrid 'Insight' in very reasonable price, but already Prius had become 'the brand name of Hybrid'. It's image is strong enough for consumer.

Really awesome social satire from Mike Judge, of "Office Space/ Beavis and Butthead/ Idiocracy/ King of the Hill" fame. Not the funniest show, but the best satire out there right now since Obama was elected. You’d know all about this is you checked out “The Goodes”, which skewers SWPLs and their motivations perfectly.

Then again, any Prius driver that thinks he/she is actually making a difference needs to get a clue (and a bike). What a joke.
