Re: Burns:: Friday Fanaticism
Well, it may not be against the law...but some of these things *do* affect me, albeit in a "potential" or "indirect" fashion.
SUVs and boats that use a lot of fuel increase our dependence on foreign oil, which can affect the price of my gas, or of the natural resources (e.g. alaska) we may have to tap to reduce this dependence. These vehicles also contribute to diminished air quality, which may affect my health or happiness.
SUVs may also contribute to congestion and present a safety risk to those of us who don't drive them.
Minor points, pehaps, but enough to put SUVs and their owners in a bad light for many people....
