I totally agree! I've noticed recently that Chevy Avalanches must come straight from the dealership with a yellow "support our troops" magnet on one side and an American flag magnet on the other. Guess the purchase of a $2 magnet that lets them sleep at night. Seems like lessening our dependency on middle-east oil does a lot more than purchasing said $2 magnet for our country's future. Amazing how twisted people's logic can be.

Perhaps we should manufacturer a green ribbon magnet for hybrid buyers?
