You should change your underwear more often.

I'm sticking with this avatar for the next few weeks at least. Then, I may bring Mr. Peanut back.

And I have a skin condition. Will you people stop mocking me?

A little cold cream or soap and water might help that skin condition. Staying out of someone's makeup would probably help too.

Wow. So, they synthesize all of the materials to make those cars, do they? Manufactured goods start where they are extracted from nature and are a liability on everyone until they are returned to nature. Recalculate the labor and materials needed along the way to support one automobile during its life cycle.

The lifestyle that most North Americans live is supported by 200 or so slaves around the world for each of us.

Just for the hell of it I wonder what percentage of the world's population has daily access to indoor plumbing with hot water? Venture a guess?

Are you not singling out Kia? Are they doing anything that every other manufacturer avoids? Or....are you actually doing anything to change that slavery situation, or just pontificating on an internet forum?

Unborn burlwood work for ya?

Actually Rolls Royce used to (still probably does) maintain a grove of trees from which wood is sourced for the interior of the cars when they are produced.

And every such car has a tree matched by a serial (matching to the car) number that is the same for the car that used its wood.

This feature is for when interior wood needs to be replaced, wood can be sourced again from THAT car's "own" exact tree to ensure the wood needed for the repair/refurbishing EXACTLY matches the wood already in the car. Not just a close match...

Also, the cattle that donate their hides for the vehicle's leather supposedly reside in pastures with NO barbed wire, protrusions or anything that could mar their hide if they brushed the fence posts or rails penning them in.

You'd look good driving a nice Roller. And with a nice Cohiba or a Davidoff #1 in your mouth when driving it... Until it broke down at the side of the road, anyway.
