Yea true there are a lot of soccer moms that drive SUV's unnecessarily, and that's what everyone against SUV's here seems to be trying to get to. On the other hand there are just as many people that actually do gain advantages from driving an SUV, and that in not necessarily for the SUV opponents to decide. Fortunately or unfortunately in thier case the country we live in is based on the principles of free choice, and while people may not always make the best choices youre going to have to live with them. If I wanted to waste the time and money getting certified for air brakes I could drive a damn semi to work every day if I wanted, so it's not like there's nothing worse out there.
Its harmful to the environment (energy wasted) for anyone to get a house larger than they absolutely need, yet nobody criticizes a family for moving into a house with a little more room if they have the money. Face it, we're a country of luxuries, life is not dictated by the bare minimum you can get away with.
