Amen, brother

When visiting here last week, my brother (who differs with me on almost everything) noted that one pet peeve of his (as an environmentalist) was that apparently about 95% of environmentalists were incapable of doing even basic math, and provided as evidence the fact that San Jose's bus system achieves about 25 passenger-miles per gallon of diesel fuel--a similar efficiency to what a Suburban would have if it had a diesel engine, really.

Amen, brother, but one step further. I think they generally have problems with basic logic, too. Not a surprise.

And yes, yet another example of how transit does NOT help the environment.
