Nope; not using his logic. No one puts coal into a Tesla; they put
electricity into a Tesla. Similarly, no one puts electricity into a
stock Prius; they put gasoline into a stock Prius.
But thanks for demonstrating your illogic.

Oh sure, but gasoline isn't naturally occurring. Use you head, dammit.

Totally irrelevant to this discussion.
> Use you head, dammit.
Take your own advice, dammit.

Michelle, every now and then you feel compelled to convince your readers how
smart you are by splitting hairs. You are smart, OK? It isn't necessary
for you to continue behaving this way. If you behave like a decent person,
people will treat you that way. Lots of folks are both smart and decent.
Consider joining them.

You're projecting.

You just can't stand being wrong, can you? So you lash out and insult
people who correct your errors, just like McCain and Palin do.
This isn't splitting hairs; it is that you are flat out wrong, but your
ego just won't let you admit it, so you act like an asshole.
In other words, I'm not the one who isn't acting decent.
