Kevin, the last thing I want to do is restrict you from being a true american or whatever. All I'm saying is that people should try to be considerate for others. You know that your vehicle choice affects others. You may not care about the energy crisis that is just now beginning, but others might.
When I go camping, I know I probably won't get caught if I leave my garbage all over; but in consideration for others, I choose to clean it all up anyway.
