SUVs are evil. They must be stopped.

Recommended site of the day: http://www.changingtheclimate.com, where you can buy bumper stickers to put on other people's SUVs that say "I'm changing the climate! Ask me how!" From the mission statement:
"The idea of this Web site is to stigmatize the insanity of mindless American consumerism and vapid status acquisition. The all too common image of the single commuter, mom on an errand to the local shopping center, or parent taking their kid to softball practice in a bloated gas guzzling behemoth, is enraging those citizens who have a sliver of conscience regarding their lifestyle and the environment.
I should also mention that there are "rules of engagement" to keep people from getting carried away. For example:
3. Don't tag commercial vehicles, contractors, or any business affiliated vehicles. Also no pickup trucks. We have no gripe with people who really need these gas-guzzlers. It's the morons who are keeping up with the Jones' that raise my back hairs.
