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...

I find that bicycles endanger *my* life because they go so slow and can't keep up with motorized traffic--does that mean I get to ban them?

Medved, I get it now. You want us to drill in ANWR so we don't need Middle East oil. I agree with you on that. But why didn't you just say that. That would keep those Bosnian Serbs and innocent Christians alive. And you could own an SUV without feeling guilty. I applaud you. Yes, we should drill in ANWR.

Don't blame me for your bad driving.

Translation: It's the oil company's and Saudi's fault that Serbia got bombed, not the fact that there was a molesting bj receiving President.

All of the retirees in our state who can drive a large car or SUV and fought in WWII or Korea love them. Hell they are the top sellers down here in Florida. The only people driving the econodeathcars are the tree-hugging lunatics and the poor. Now run along junior, before everyone on this board rips you to shreds.

You should just drive a bigger SUV. You will see right over them.

Just back off their rear bumper so you can see better.

I have four children who the government insists must ride in car seats/boosters. Only an SUV/Van offers a third row of seats - do you propose that my family not be allowed to travel together? Or should I have been limited to three children so as not to consume a disproportionate share of the earth's resources? And, yes, occasionally you will see me or my wife solo in our Acura MDX, as we don't always have all the kids with us - I will surely hurry out and purchase another car for these occasions so as not to offend your delicate sensibilities.

Maybe if you tried standing on the seat of your "bicycle" you could see over those nasty SUVs.
