While making dinner, I flipped to CNN. They had a story about how gas prices were effecting this particular woman's life. She talked about how after putting in $63 into her SUV tank, she had to cut back for her twin boys. She had to be more economical.
I felt a twinge of concern for her. After all, many people are certain to have hand-me-down and used vehicles that are not as efficient and they have fewer options. But the story ended showing her brand new, 2005 Denali. That's right, after the war and hint of gas prices going up, this dumbass bought a very expensive SUV. No sympathy. none. Your twins have bigger problems than you cutting back their toys. They probably have to fight off your stupid genes too.
Oh, and naturally, on the side of the Denali was a yellow ribbon.

What?? No battered American flag flapping from the antenna??
some people actually buy the bigger SUV's because there are tax incentives to do so.
I have a thirteen-year-old SUV (the smaller, less muscley looking Ford Explorer) that I've been wanting to get rid of due to the increase in gas prices and terrible fuel efficiency for some time. I can't imagine why people keep buying SUV's now that the price of gas has gone up. Most of the people who buy SUV's nowadays aren't hauling around housecleaning, farming, or band equipment, or even loads of kids, on a regular basis (and mini-vans are safer for that practice, anyway).
