You are a gluttonous, mindless troll for presuming to call all people who drive a SUV or other large vehicles pigs.

Not ALL; just the 90% who use the fricking things for commuter vehicles and other driving which could as easily be done in a normal car or motorcycle. Owning a van or SUV as your only vehicle is basically irresponsible.

Medved, owning a motorcycle or a small car as your only vehicle fits some folks' definition of irresponsible.

And I'm willing to bet that there are people who believe that whoever allows you to continue wasting both FR's bandwidth AND the Earth's precious supply of oxygen is far more irresponsible than an SUV owner.

It's true that most people who drive SUV's don't use them for hauling stuff *all* of the time. But, what do you do if you need to haul kids/dogs/stuff around *part* of the time?

Should each person be required to buy an SUV for the times they have to haul stuff, a mid-sized car for when they drive themselves and one or two other people, and a mini-car for when they are alone?

Talk about a crime against the planet.

Irresponsible? Hugging a tree is irresponsible.
Imposing totalitarianism is irresponsible.
Letting liberal idiots vote is irresponsible.

Owning an SUV is not a right, granted. But by God as long as the US is still a FREEDOM (novel concept you should check it out some time) loving nation, then I'll drive what I want because I can afford to do so. If you don't like that, I suggest relocating to North Korea where you are assigned how and what you do and can use for a mode of transportation. Sounds like your desire for this nation, so why not go there and be with your brethren.
