OINK here. It's my choice. Why should I ever give that up? Why should the government mandate what vehicle I drive. Next thing you know we'll all be ordered to drive white Geo-type econodeathcars. Screw that. I've been in one accident in a small car and two surgeries later and a lifetime of problems to go, hell would have to freeze before I drive another one. Sorry, I'll be a pig. A safe pig. And if you don't like it, relocate to N. Korea. That way you can have government protection and mandates over everything you do. Meanwhile, let capitalism work in our country. If the nation wants those crappy little death traps, then they'll buy them.
There are all kinds of safe vehicles between the extremes of a Geo and an SUV. In my estimation, the idea of large numbers of people driving vans and SUVs in traffic is endangering MY life and the lives of others by reducing visual range on the highways, i.e. by preventing other drivers including themselves from ever seeing further than the SUV two cars in front of them.
Other than that, as I say, my sympathies are with the Bosnian Serbs and other innocent victims of this vast operation which sends oil here for SUVs, military aircraft to Riyhad and American bombers to bomb innocent Christians as part of the deal, and not with you.
In fact you might want to try imagining how far you'd have gotten trying to explain your fundamental right to own a pigmobile to anybody during WW-II...
