The message
from "Doug Kanter" contains these words:

Remember, Janet, that this is a country where some people interpret our
constitution to mean that you can do anything you damned well please, as
long as it's within the law. So, try telling someone with a fat SUV that
it's silly to own one if they don't actually need a truck-type vehicle
for
towing or other similar purpose that's appropriate to such a vehicle.
Probably half the time, the response will be "Oh....it's OK...I can
afford
the gasoline". They'll completely miss the point that it's obscene to
waste
resources. The other typical response, if you mention air quality, is
that
"those environmentalists have yet to prove blah blah blah....".

Hah, I'm not falling for that old trick to get rid of me. I know at
least half of the fat SUV persons will reply "I have the right to bear
arms, lady, and I guess from your cute liddle accent you don't, which
makes you a loser in this here international discussion. BANG"

The trees have an uphill battle on their hands.

Do American trees have the right to bear arms too? Or just nuts and
fruits?

Janet

Most of the fruits I've met don't bear arms, although considering the
attitude of the nuts, they might want to reconsider. :-)
