About time! I hate making excuses like: "the trap doesn't hurt the mouse", "we capture the mouse so it doesn't eat our food", "the cat isn't mean to the mouse"!
But if we replace all cartoon mice with hamster counterparts the prolem would be solved :D
100 lbs?! Whoa... Thanks for coorecting me, I didn't know that.. That is a lot less than I thought!
But I won't take back that i simpler car is better for the enviroment than i Prius. Sure it uses lees fuel, but is more complicated to produce, so from birth to grave it's more polluting. I't just a matter of moving the pollution from the road to the industrialized areas. Besides: how long will the batteries last? They are Li-ion like cell phone batteries and they don't last forever. Certainly not if you always charge them frewuently before they're used up!

I assumed the same thing, but when I serched for information I found out they actually weighed less than 100 lb! (http://www.toyotapriusbattery.com/)
40 mpg is what you could expect for a car thet weighs less than half than a Prius and is as safe as a bicycle.
And again with the Prius!
I don't like the Prius. Perhaps it doesn't use a lot of fuel, but it isn't better for the enviroment than other cars. The batteries just add up weight and require more power. The car is very slow and very complicated to repair and if they had just put an underpowered engine to a ligther car the result would have been pretty much the same. Except it would have been a lot cheaper!
A car i think would be good for the enviroment is the Loremo, when it gets availible. But that is also a tiny car!
And Diesel gets better mpg! A Skoda Octavia 2.0 Diesel has 140 hp and still gets 50+ mpg in daily commute.
I thought it was common knowledge, even in Europe, that the US has 50 states (I'm from Denmark)... No I cannot name them all, but I know there are 50.. And I'm able to count the 50 stars on the flag :-P
"But it is now going to cost the taxpayer, as we will have to crime it, investigate it and paint over it."
Uhhm.. What about the grafiti artists? Why can't they paint it over? I don't hope the police will actually use any resources at all to find him!

It's perhaps the modern counterpart to the rafters in houses where the carpenters sometimes wrote their names (or still does it?).
I agree with Heather and Lasse that it's a good idea. But it doesn't have to be mandatory!
