Kanter's right - we shouldn't touch the safety issue. That's a whole
'nother can of worms....


Not to send this discussion off into yet another direction, but if they were
safer, then agencies like the NY State Police would be driving nothing but
SUVs. As it stands, about 1 out of 50 vehicles they drive is an SUV, and
that includes troopers in places like the Adirondacks, where the snow is
ridiculous.
