Environmentalists have equated SUV ownership with a ticket to hell. Saddle me up with some bribes for Lucifer for I and my Suburban have sinned. The left continually redefines ethics for political expediency. That emotional component results because they are impervious to facts. SUVs are killing people at rate comparable to bubonic plague, slamming into small vehicles, causing death and dismemberment, and probably on purpose.
Small cars pollute less than big cars.
SUVs weigh more and have bigger engines. A Suburban is about 100 pounds more than a Tahoe but is perceived as more evil. SUV drivers are more reckless and likely to violate the law. If we really want to prevent fatal accidents we should simply wear seat belts. The die is cast.
