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.

    Get over yourselves!

    So the guy bought an SUV. SFW? The fact is, we're not going to hybrid or CFL our way out of our current mess.

    Ever try to take 500 pounds of production gear a couple miles down an unpaved Forest Service maintenance road? (If you are doing it in a dinky hybrid, maybe strapping it to a roof rack, please be sure to take the curves really hard, just to get a good lesson in basic applied physics.)

    The sheer amount of hot air expended in self-righteous posturing here alone is worth 15 Hummers idling in city traffic.

    Much as I try to be as liberal as possible, sometimes you guys are downright embarrassing.
