As promised, I'm following up PeterT,-)

I sense you're a pretty good shit, think yourself reasonable, but you're gonna need to explain the basis of your moral indignation on this one. Well, you don't need to....

- Aren't you socially responsible...

Such umbrage! Do direct us to the bible of social responsibility. No crimes are being committed in this ever changing paradigm. So who decides?!

- Sure, these bastards have the right to own them, but "should they" is the question!

How diversity tolerant. In your view, who should decide these issues of ownership? Perhaps manufacturing should be managed by someone other than the business owner too. Sounds as if you have central planning in mind.

- Oil is a finite resource, so why drive something that requires so much friggin gas

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. Perhaps the current propaganda has an agenda beneath it? Will it lead to your enslavement too. Undoubtedly.

- And does the environment really need more fossil fuel emissions than is absolutely necessary?

Who knows?! There are experts(sic) of all stripes guessing about environmental impact. Your supposition, or rather the suppositions of the experts you choose to believe, isn't indisputable. Or necessarily fact.

- Hummer owners are egocentric, irresponsible...

You're being emotionally judgmental again.

- ...and probably shortchanged "south of the border".

Mean spirited too, lol, but you're justified right?! You're being completely reasonable, right?! How does that work with females, unserviceably minute vagina's? Poor lady's.-(

- Your defense of them speaks volumes about your wisdom and values.

On the assumption, your unpublished values are immutable. Would that be incorrect?-) Or unfair?!

- I look forward to taking you on in the future.

Fair enough. And I you. At least occasionally. Often we agree. (:sing it Timmy Thomas/Sade:) Funny thing though? Emotionally, I agree with you. I have the same knee jerk reaction. Wonder how that happens?

Do you suppose they know it's not a real Hummer? Suckers, LMAO!!!

Hey...maybe that's their problem.

- Perhaps you will back issues that you can better defend.

YEAH!!! PETERt MEANS YOU!!!-) who were you again, I forget. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE-)

That's my largest objection Peter, the socialist/commie/facist zeal of your finger waggling. It's always for our own good. Helping the little people. And other assorted BS, in action.

Until recently, 'sustainability' sounded like a reasonable plan of action, to me. But it turns out, like so often happens, there's all sorts of anti-american global centrist agenda that is buried beneath that reasonable sounding sound-byte. If you're a centrist, fine, but have the courage/honesty to say so.

e.g., I, PeterT, support the dissolution of the United States of America in favor of the United Nations managing this globe, for the sake of the environment, of course. (I suspect that is a bit of a leap in your mind, but it isn't if one looks below the surface, beyond the bumper stickers and tee shirts.)

I do not. I support individualism. I support freedom of conscience(1st Amendment). I support the United States founding documents. Too, I support your right to disagree.

Hope all is well in your world Peter, GM
