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.

In your mind. The SUV motto: "Let's roll."

The higher ride height of large SUV's also provides for better vision for its driver While obscuring vision for many others.

From each according to their ability to each according to their needs

Actually, the quote is "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." Evidently Lenin learned his grammar at a school that was not dumbed down, and that taught pronoun agreement.

The North Koreans and Cubans must love having you around for company.

Fat chance. You might have some interests in common with Kim Jong-Il though, judging from the bottom of your profile.

Nonsense. Not only are you missing the point (i.e. that "freedom" is not something that needs to be restricted by socialist governments deciding what we can and can't choose to drive), but new SUV's offer numerous crash advantages to drivers who frequent dense, fast-moving traffic.

In your mind, the government should be banning SUV's because they block the views of people who drive cars with lower ride heights, as well as banning them because they drink too much fuel.

It's fine to have such an opinion, of course, just don't try to confuse that sort of dictatorial mindset with one of freedom.
