"The SUV, it turns out," says the professor, "is a vehicle of aggression, a machine to menace other people with."

The author of this article is out to lunch!!!! He says we Menace other people with SUV's? Gee, we were out today in our 4-runner and don't recall menacing anyone during our trip. But...how about the car that turned in front of us so he could get on the road quicker? I would call that menacing.
Oh let's see, I was out alone yesterday doing my shopping in my Explorer...now let me think...did I menace someone? Anyone? Nope, don't think so! But how about the guy racing up behind me in a sedan and all ticked off cause he had to wait for me to make my turn (oncoming cars ya know) and so when I turn he toots his horn and ackts like a jackass?
Continuing on...we also have a big Dodge Truck...well, it's not an SUV but it is big and could be a menacing vehicle but...it's not. Only DRIVERS are menacing and they can be that in one of those little volkswagon bugs...OR they can be menacing on a bike or skateboard or skis or snowboards.
Ever stand accidently in front of a swing when you were a kid and got hit with the swiing? Hurts huh? Darn right. Should swings be classified as menacing? This guy needs to Get a grip ... we love our SUV's and from the looks of the sales there's a whole lotta people lovin' them so to the author of this article I say quit your whining and back off!
