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

I have a huge Expedition SUV. It's been paid for since the day I bought
it. I
will drive it till it can't drive any more. I don't feel silly driving
it, but
the next vehicle I buy will definitely be a hybrid and I will be more
considerate of my decisions in the future.

I do use my SUV to haul and move things about, but I believe I can always
rent a
truck for that. Or, my neighbor's and I share my power washer and I have
several open ended loan offers for trucks, hedge trimmers, etc. We barter
and
that way we all have everything we all need. So I can borrow a truck when
I
need one when I eventually get rid of this one.
