I love getting these letters from idiots. This letter is a response to my myriad articles in support of SUVs against the SUV-Hating, Lifestyle-Fascist Creeps who despise bigness for the sake of anti-bigness. This boob pulls the "children" trick, and comes off as a mind cripple who hasn't had a single moment wherein she actually thought for herself:
Do you have children? 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, 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.
And? So? Uh huh? Is there a point?
My Dad's response to this: "Yeah, I wanna be in one of those dinky compacts with an 18-wheeler breathing down my ass......"
