So, it would appear to a casual observer that Arnie has got most of you pretty well riled beyond description.
He has, as all who have registered for this web site, the right to post commentary. I found most of the dialog interesting and well formulated.
A native American view of the world appreciates the gifts we receive from our home, the earth. Indeed, we take the view that we should not squander the gifts for it is a true birthright not only for ourselves, but more noblely for those we prepare to follow us; they are our children.
The issue per say is not Hummer or RV or SUV, or not. It's the extraordinary selfishness that infuses and contaminates one's view. Frankly, I have no children and therefore have reasonable justification to conduct my life in a way that cares not in the least about yours ... but I do. And I care not only for the world they will inherit, but the one generations of your families will inherit.
If you truly need a Hummer, then by all means have one. Your judgement will have ramifications for the ones that today, still feed at your breast.
