Howard, you seem to be caught up in this "God damn long hairs tryin to tell
me what to do, I'll show them" state of mind. It's not even about that. Step
back from your preconceptions of our hidden motives to bring you down. Try
not to imagine us eating tofu and polishing our sandals with hemp leather
polish. Here's my only concern, all statistics aside: SUV's are machines
which burn a high amount of fossil fuels. I know that combusting fossil
fuels creates a stink (aka pollution) - power plants, semi-trucks,
airplanes, motorcycles, cars, trucks, SUV's - they all create a stink. A
large percentage of SUV drivers don't use them to go lay barbed wire fencing
with the Dusty and Roy; they use them to commute alone, or to drive little
Timmy to soccer practice. You are perfectly free to do this, but why would
you want to waste more resources and create more smog for everyone else to
deal with?
And to answer your question about appointed dictators over your life. Why do
you think these people that feel so passionately about the environment take
their battles to the government? Maybe because the people who poop all over
the environment ("the enemy") are irrational, stubborn, ego-freaks that say
things like "it'll be a cold day in hell before I listen to anything you
have to say"? How else can you deal with these people?
It's not being politically correct; it's using common sense and not being a
wasteful person. That's all.
Adam.
