1.  What is the main point of Eric Peters' commentary?

2.  For each of the following statements made by Mr. Peters, write whether you agree or disagree and explain your position:

__________________ Penalizing the automakers for adjusting their supply to satisfy the market's demand via top-down ukase from Washington makes about as much sense as harassing ice cream parlors for dispensing triple scoop hot fudge sundaes instead of bran flakes. (para. 7)

__________________ To expect businesses -- whether they make cars or hot fudge sundaes -- to devote resources to products that don't make them money is to ask them to commit economic hari-kari. (para. 10)

__________________ If I were a Prius driver, I'd want Toyota to sell as many Tundras and Tacomas as possible. Does it make sense to kill the goose that lays the golden green egg? (para. 17)

3.  Would you prefer to drive an SUV or a hybrid car like the Toyota Prius?  Why?
