Did I just buy an SUV?

I didn't mean to. I am an environmentalist. Really. But before I knew it, there it was, in front of my house.

    More Important Issue

    I own an Acadia CUV (GMC) that I love. It's the first vehicle I have ever owned that my husband can actually get into. All the other ones were like a sardine can for him. He couldn't fit his 6 foot 200 pound frame into them without his knees being under his chin. I also hauled a desk my granddaughter bought to her home. She didn't have any way of getting it there. Along with numerous other things. I am like the guy earlier who made mention of that fact what good does it do to complain about SUV's destroying the planet when literally nothing is being done about birth control that is going to drive the human race into oblivion. I see it as being a far more important issue.
