Some Small Thing Wrong Here


The Rotary Club of Chatham, in Miramichi, New Brunswick, is planning to build a new "eco-centre" to raise environmental awareness. Their fundraiser for this noble project is a raffle.The raffle prize: a HUMVEE. The Club sees no irony in the fact that anyone with environmental awareness wouldn't be caught dead in a Hummer, unless they were driving it off a cliff to save the world from its emissions.
"It's not any more a gas guzzler than anything that's out on the highway now," [Rotary member Leon] Bremner said. "I've had plenty of people that say they'll get better gas mileage with this Hummer than they will their vehicle." Well, okay, assuming that this is their current vehicle.
