"From each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs." - Vladimir Lenin As long as we're using Lenin quotes wildly out of context, let's go with:
"One man with a gun can control 100 without one."
- Vladimir Ilyich Lenin
The problem with that view, however, is that it is inemical to freedom. It is the antithesis of America.
It's spelled inimical, which under a common definition means "an unfriendly act of aggression". Driving a huge, gas-hogging SUV in urban areas of a state with 33+ million people is inimical to common sense, good visibility in dense, fast-moving traffic, and clean air. Inimical. I-N-I-M-I-C-A-L.
They want special priviledges...
That's spelled privileges.
Forget freedom. The government will decide for you what you will do and how you will do it. Right, comrade?!
You think I'm an apologist for statism, do you? Wrong. Speak for yourself, comrade.
Sheesh. Our schools really have been dumbed down for Joe Sixpacks to be spouting such socialistic nonsense. You did claim to be Joe Average, didn't you
Not only didn't claim to be Joe Average, but point out who has suffered the brunt of said dumbing down.
I mean, you wouldn't be some "plant" from DU.
Nah. You wouldn't be Bob Boudelang, would you?
One other thing, related to the general theme of pollution of the commons. Dispense with your 8K "bull in the china shop" vanity logo and quit wasting bandwidth and time for hundreds of others.
"Driving a huge, gas-hogging SUV in urban areas of a state with 33+ million people is inimical to common sense, good visibility in dense, fast-moving traffic, and clean air."
Nonsense. It makes perfect sense to choose to ride in a vehicle that protects its driver from car-on-car collisions with a higher seating position and more metal, especially in dense, fast-moving traffic.
The higher ride height of large SUV's also provides for better vision for its driver, contrary to the claptrap that you posted above.
Of course, in your world-view, everyone would have the same viewing perspective because everyone would be driving the same econo-box.
In fact, you don't want people to be permitted to choose to drive what they want. No, you want your communist-style government to decide if someone has a need for a pickup with a toolbox or a large SUV (From each according to their ability to each according to their needs - a phrase that you evidently didn't even comprehend was directly connected to your earlier rant).
The North Koreans and Cubans must love having you around for company.
