There are so many bones to pick with your article found at:
http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/fea....mencimer.html
that I don't know where to begin. The paragraph that prompted me to write is this one:
"Ironically, SUVs are particularly dangerous for children, whose safety is often the rationale for buying them in the first place. Because these beasts are so big and hard to see around (and often equipped with dark-tinted glass that's illegal in cars), SUV drivers have a troubling tendency to run over their own kids. Just recently, in October, a wealthy Long Island doctor made headlines after he ran over and killed his two-year-old in the driveway with his BMW X5. He told police he thought he'd hit the curb."
I couldn't be more troubled that you chose to use this example in an article full of sarcasm, "wit," and social commentary about other people's choices in life. I cannot imagine the pain that doctor must have felt to kill his own child, and I'm sure your article calling him (by turns) "an *******," "insecure" and "narcissistic" goes a long way toward making your point.
