""I defend my right to drive whatever the f*ck I please. You've come to wrong place to rag on America, friend.""
1. you have no right to complain about energy prices
2. you are imposing a negative externatility on the country wuth you SUV, so yes society can punish or reward you for what you drive.
I've got a nice, fat negative externality for you.
what on earth -- and wait, I thought I was adressing someone else. Those are the remarks of a horse's *ss.
What the hell is a "negative externatility"?
Barbara Streisand.
Nobody is preventing you from buying all the gas you want. No stations are out of gas because of SUV's. SUV's don't drive the oil market.
If you really had a clue you've owned oil producer stock and be smiling at your nice capital gain.
Think of that. Buy oil stocks, they always make money & pay dividends, just sometimes they make more money than at others. If oil goes down you win at the pump, if oil goes up you win in your IRA.
God is punishing you for your "externatility", whatever the h*ll that is, now go take your pill and do your biofeedback.
