Hummers, and other SUVs, are a "fuck you" to everyone else on the road.

They increase their own driver's visibility by reducing the visibility of everyone else.

They decrease the safety of everyone on the road, but bring a feeling of safety to the drivers (just a feeling -- because death rates in SUVs are no better than death rates in other cars. Roll overs are dangerous.)

Driving an SUV is no different than embezzeling 1 penny from everyone in Canada. It is a distributed crime.

If SUVs paid for the reduced safety of everyone else on the road, it would be one thing. But as it stands, they take away from everyone else's safety and ability to see without recompensating others for it.

And that is why SUVs suck.
