Slandering SUV drivers: Environmentalists go overboard with smear tactics

[\"Hummer\", heh, heh]

Klaus: "Right... I'm sure the terrorists will refuse money from gas purchased by car poolers..."

I guess you missed my point, so let me try to restate it a little more concisely: The amount of oil we collectively consume is proportional to the amount of money that goes to nations that fund terrorists.

There is no diffentiation once the oil reaches our port, as to where it goes: some goes to indivuduals who commute from the suberbs in their SUV's, some goes to people who carpool in hybrid vehicles. However, those who waste oil cause more of it to be imported, and those who do their best to conserve bring us closer to solving our unfortunate dependence.

The most efficient use of oil minimizes the amount we must import, and if we were to conserve enough, we could be selective about which countries we import from, putting a lot of pressure on them.
