"its a free-rider problem in economics. If some people work hard to curb energy consumption to reduce the Arabs' grip on our society, there will be others who will take any modest excuse to use more energy. You would think that the SUV driving gas wasting idiots would maybe see the fact that we are in a war over this issue as a sign that something is wrong, but apparently not."

Arab's grip??? Try the communist's grip. We in a war because people hate us and want to destroy us. We support Israel, they don't. We support not having people fly planes into our buildings. DON'T EVEN TRY TO USE THE BLAME THE USA BOVINE SCATTAOLOGY FOR THIS PROBLEM WITH THE ARABS!!! That doesn't and will not float on this board. Just because you hate the free market and approve of communist and Nazi-like policies, does not mean the 90% of sane people in this nation ever will.

As I've said in earlier posts, if the market wanted those little econodeathtraps, they would be selling like wildfire. Guess what. People don't want them. They want comfort and horespower. Just because you love to hug a tree and save Southwest Oregonian farting flies, doesn't mean the rest of us do. And just because you can't afford a nice vehicle like my gas hog SUV, doesn't mean I can't. Too bad. Quit flipping burgers and get a real job then you can afford to buy an SUV also.

You can do what you want, of course, but if it weren't for the fact that the Saudi's have our transportation and industrial infrastructure by the balls thanks to idiots like you, we wouldn't care what they thought of us. Hell, the Angolans don't like us either, but they don't have millions of dollars to back the Afghanistani government and set up terrorist training camps. If we cut oil consumption by 10%, the price would drop by 50% and we would starve them back to the stone age. But with shitheads like you around, that will never happen. Oh, and anytime you want to compare W-2's or 1040's, I'm quite sure I've got more cylinders pumping than a moron like you. Say hi to your Saudi pals for me, Arab-lover.
