I still can't see all those stuff coming in via my web mail account on the site, but this is the only way I can post soo..
//Another snip from Larry Actually not, according to Toyota's there was a four month waiting list for their hybrid car. I guess given that waiting list those cars are so unpopular. //They don't make that many, so yes, there is a wait. I do not like the way you demonize those who may disagree with you on the environment. Its the same as if I called you a greedy, uncaring arrogant environment raping psychopath. In other words, your characterization of those who engage in pro-social and pro-environmental behaviors is completely inappropriate. I didn't demonize anyone. I simply made a counter generalization to the generalization that all SUV owners were either yuppie business people or soccer moms, which is not the case. Just as my generalization, that all hybrid owners, are environmentalists, is not the case. However, I see it is ok for you to take anyone who uses an SUV for what you consider to be not an intended use and impose on them your will by raising their taxes and telling them they are destroying the environment. I am assuming you are referring to my calling environmentalists "wackos", when referring to demonizing them. Tell me Larry how would you charachterize someone who, throws acid on SUVs, violates people personal property by sticking bumper stickers on SUV that state, "i'm changing the climte", members of the ELF that burn down homes because they don't agree with where they are being built. Those types of behavior to me deserve the classification wacko, and I realize that not everyone who considers themselves and environmentalist acts this way. Whether I agree or disagree with someones view point has no bearing on whether or not I consider someone wacko. There are many people with on the far right that I consider wackos too. larry you're more of an extremist that I thought. The person who organized the anti-SUV campaign is Ariana Huffington, not exactly a left wing type. Lets be honest about it SUV's pollute more and use more gas than a car. Its something that cannot continue forever. Personally I would rather see a stiff luxury tax placed on SUV's for all those who do not use them for their original intended use - as a work vehicle. larry I think Nick covered this well. What is intended use and who determines intended use? I use my SUV to tow a camper and a boat, I also use it get groceries and I even strap the family Christmas tree on top sometime in November. Occasionally I use it to go off road in Michigan when I go home. I use it in the winter to get around in the snow. So what is the intended use of my SUV then? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
