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.
