I was going to post this earlier, but due to the blog not working I didn't. So here is today's stupid idea of the day. John Edwards says we should sacrifice our SUV's to save the environment. Read about it
here. How more hypocritical could this guy be. I doubt he will be giving up his. I can't say there are many politicos who don't have SUV's, many that actually belong to the taxpayer (don't get me started on cars provided to government employees).
American drive SUV's because they like them. I personally hate little cars, I think most Americans do as well. They are uncomfortable, drive badly and I sure wouldn't want to get in an accident with one. Good luck getting one of my bigger clients (I am a realtor) into a compact car. How about families that would need to drive two cars instead of putting everybody into one SUV? I drive too much to have something mandated to me by the government, I wouldn't want to drive something I hate. This is another poorly thought out liberal idea that has no check on reality.
If you think that SUV's are evil, don't ride in them or drive or buy them. Its your choice! It's clear that most folks have no problem with them. If you like them don't feel bad about driving one, I personally don't own one, but I should be able to buy one when I want. I know John Edwards will be driving one.
