Busted!

Wanna bet that the heads of all those green groups drive gas guzzlers? How about the environmentalists in Con-gress? How about all those celebrities that claim to be green?

Hypocrites.

Luigi is right! My two door camaro gets me there much better than my SUV. Faster, louder, sleeker, and thanks to the mods, with less fuel economy. But hey, it's my money. When I can no longer afford it, I'll buy a more efficient car. I hear the new vettes get 28 on the highway.

Banana added, "All of our gear though is recycled."

Ok .. but what happens to the gear (signs) after the are finished with them ????

"Jordana Banana"

ROTFLMAO!! Oh my gosh, that -can't- be her real name! ;)

When pressed on the issue, she said, "It's unfortunate that we have to drive a van. It would definitely be our preference to be able to take alternative forms of transportation, but unfortunately today, we had a lot of gear with us."

Banana added, "All of our gear though is recycled."

Before retreating to the van, another of the anti-ExxonMobil protesters, who would only give his first name, launched an attack on SUV's in America. "We should burn them all. They are horrible, they are useless," Luigi said. "Most people should be able to get by with a two-door car for the same thing they use SUV's for," he added.

And to think these people are allowed to drive at all, not to mention vote.

"It's unfortunate that we have to drive a van."

As though somebody forced them against their will to do so. Scrutinize each one of them and you'll find lots of other environmental "indiscretions." Guaranteed.

Its just your SUV that polutes, not theirs.

Of course, its funny to note that there may be nothing more hypocritical than an "environmentalist" bumper sticker on any type of car at all.

Rules are never meant for the elitists who write them... only for the rest of us.

I don't care much for enviromentalist weirdos, but they do have one point about SUVs. They are stupid vehicles that have no physical or practical purpose.

SUVs came about because there was a "loophole" in the tax code for company owned commercial vehicles. A business owner discovered that he could write off depreciation faster on his company's work trucks than he could on his own cadilac. So he decided to buy a truck loaded with all the luxuries and options and use that as his personal vehicle instead of a cadilac. The business owners discovered this was cheaper in the long run than driving a cadilac even though the cadilac got better gas mileage, plus, the truck was bigger and roomier. The auto manufacturers got wind of this and began offering more and more options in trucks to cater to these clever business owners. As CAFE standards became stricter and stricter, the traditional luxury car became less and less and the "luxury truck" became more and more. So basically, we have a vehicle whose main purpose is to fit through a tax loophole. The irony is that nowdays the majority of SUV drivers own their SUV personally...it is not a company vehicle, they are not business owners, and thus they cannot take advantage of the tax loophole. So for them this vehicle has ZERO purpose. Also, most SUVs nowdays are equipped with automatic transmissions and full time 4 wheel drive and quiet highway tires. These 3 features nearly destroy all the off roading abilities that it would've had if equipped with more traditionally. It's a vehicle that can't do anything well and is designed for nothing and in some cases, is a safety hazard as well.

reminds me of a FOAF (freind of a friend) that went to a protest rally over big tobacco.. it was a bit weird to see her talk about it after bumming a cigarette from me.. These people should stick to following the greatful dead instead of politics..

Terry Mccauliffe, the 'rat Chairman(comissar) drives a Cadillac Escalade. It has been my experience that liberals are so full of excrement, that an army of steamshovels couldn't make a dent in the ambient level of bullsh'ite..

Environmentalism is all about socialism.

Environmentalists lie as a matter of course.

Tell them that the YUGO will soon be re-introduced!

[KevinDavis]
