If a store is trying to reward customers who were fuel efficient, then it would make sense to deny parking to someone who lives 2 blocks away, even if they drove up in a Prius.The whole thing reminds me of the phrase "conspicuous consumption" from years ago. There is this element of " look at me, I'm so green" to it all. You wanna really be green, take the bus! Before I moved away, I gave some thought to buying a Prius. Not because of the fuel economy, but because I would have been allowed to drive in the LIE HOV lane even as a single occupant vehicle, and that could have saved me 10 or so minutes each way. |

There's a Publix near where I work which has a similar spot (I think it may be for women that already have babies, as well as expectant. I'll take a pic the next time I'm there). I rarely see anyone parked there, though. Doesn't really bother me, as I usually go to that store when they open at 7 AM, on the way to work, so I just park in the first regular space next to the baby space. :) |

The pregnant or baby space would never bother me either, as its a special need or "hardship" with all the strollers, etc. That's a WHOLE lot different than "spaces for fuel efficient vehicles only". There's no handicap or disapility, or special need that they would have. |

Many people do not know this but up until the late 1970s it was mandatory for a pregnant woman in an operating title of the NYCT, to be put on unpaid leave in her 7th month of pregnancy. (in the old Brown rule book) Woman's groups fought such laws and today a pregnant woman can operate her train or drive her bus until her water breaks or she goes into labor. Parking spaces for pregnant women more or less contradict that fight that promoted the idea that pregnancy is not an illness but a natural state. That said, I have no issues with them - its just contradictory to the woman's movement. |

To relate my experiences with riding a motorcycle to that of yours with an energy efficient car would be like comparing spending a night with a beautiful woman to spending a day with you. Please, you have no understanding of the subject. Leave this conversation to the civilized among us. |

Increasing the costs for repair, and therefore the cost of the insurance (for a vandalism charge), makes the total ownership cost of a fuel efficient car higher. Are you capable of thought? |

Of course you are saying that the owner of a car that was keyed or had its tires slashed or the windshield broken is going to have the same convoluted irrational thought processes as you and assume that the vandalism was due to the fact that the car was energy efficient? You are really running neck and neck with streetcarman for imbecile of the year. |

You have no concept of how much fun driving can be. We have been through this before. For people like you, maybe the Prius or civic hybrid or whatever you have is great. The rest of us, if we get hybrids, will get something sportier. |

Sure way to keep customers of course if they actually do that.

John McCaherty (R) will raffle off an AR-15 rifle at an August 27th fundraiser, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. The gun is the same model as one allegedly used in last week's shooting at a Colorado movie theater that left 12 dead and 58 injured. |
