WE ARE PEOPLE WHO BREATHE THE CRAPPY AIR POLLUTED BY IGNORANT A-HOLE SUV OWNERS, AND WE ARE PEOPLE WHO REAR-ENDED IN TRAFFIC, SIDE-SWIPED ON BIKES, BLINDED AT NIGHT, BY THESE POORLY DESIGNED, UNSAFE VEHICLES. THIS IS THE POINT. YOU LIVE IN A SOCIETY OF OTHERS, EVEN IN TEXAS. IF YOU WANT TO LIVE LIKE AN A-HOLE, DON'T EXPECT ANY RESPECT. If you have to define yourself to the world by the car you drive, that's just pathetic.

Calling me a tree hugger is pointless, this is a right-wing redneck term applied to anyone who feels that our impact on the earth needs to be considered. There are people who consider others in the world around them without "hugging trees" . And thank god the rest of the world doesn't think like you, or there would be no oil left by now. To put in in your simplistic terms, SUV drivers affect my freedom. Asthma rates in children are reaching epidemic levels in North America -too many trees?
