That sounds right to me. Who are you to decide what vehicle is
right for someone else? Once you start that process, then we should
go take a look at everything people own and do. Is that ski trip to
Colorado necessary? Or should one drive to a ski resort that's
closer? How about driving the family to the beach every weekend in
the summer? Maybe we should close places like Disneyland, since not
only does it use a lot of unnecessary energy,

And that's how politics in America works.

If someone suggests that SUV's are a bad idea and that we ought to
use less gasoline, the next thing you get is "why do you want to
close disneyland and throw me in jail for going to Steamboat??"

we call that kind of sloppy thinking "the slippery slope" train of
thought.
"First they restrict our freedom to waste, next thing ya know we'll
all be in a concentration camp!"

ridiculous.




"freedom to waste";are you advocating rationing?
Or government specifying what sort of vehicle you get to buy with "your"
money?

Yeah,that will work SO good....
