t doesn't matter if they use it, or don't use it. When the goverment steps up, and puts stricter regulations on engines and emissions then you people can have somthing to bitch about. Mocking someone because they are buying a truck, simply for the fact they don't NEED one, is completely ignorant. Maybe you should point fingers at the goverment, or car manufactures for building these non-enviroment friendly cars, instead of pointing at the people because a constitutional right gives them the ability to be free, and buy whatever vehicle they want.

I wasn't mocking, but you have to admit that it is rather shortsighted for humanity as a species to put unnescesary stress on the atmosphere for the sake of image. It is ignorant to buy a truck just because you want to look cool, or just because you want to drive some macho ass climatechanger.
You could point fingers a the automakers, but they're just doing what any company wants to do- sell a popular product to an eager consumer. The fact is, until there is no demand anymore for vehicular metaphors for excess, automakers will continue to make these vehicles. I would point fingers at the gov't, but only because they're not keeping car manufacturers in check.

I'm an Alaskan, and if any of you knew 1/10th of the politics involved, or seen what that part of the State of Alaska consists of, maybe your opinion would dramatically changed. How can people that don't live here, or know the first thing about it, comment on it.

Maybe you'll enlighten me on the 1/10th of the politics involved so i can understand your informed opinion instead of just pulling the "you just don't understand" card. Right now all i know is that some oil corporations want to open up a national wildlife refuge to oil drilling for what could amount to an inconsequential amount of oil. As such i know ex-alaskans who don't favor drilling, why shoulld i listen to you over them?
