Great News

Turned on the news and it looks like the Hummer, that gawdawful multi-ton vanity vehicle, will probably go extinct. Yes, I despise the vehicles. I've been tailgated by them, tanks driven by yuppie housewives yakking on cellphones.  Of course, the sad thing is that because General Motors couldn't see the writing on the wall, and far too many people wanted this kind of crap, they're now going to lay off lord knows how many people. But we really  need to get Hummers, and other big SUVs, off the road. The vast majority have one office worker driving them. Waste of gas, destroys the roads, and I've seen what happens when a Hummer or big SUV hits another car. Not a pretty sight. ...

I think Hummers have their place--I can see the police or the fire department in some areas needing something like that.

But it's like assault weapons. Civilians, especially in urban areas, don't need them.

They should only be allowed for police/fire/rescue. No businesman or housewife should have one.
