Having an attitude towards someone because of what they're driving...when you don't even know them is alot like...

hmmm...

...maybe disliking someone because of the color of their skin or their choice of religion...right?

See how silly it is? Odd, because it is usually the right thinking people (like myself) that get tagged as stereotypers and bigots but this type of sillyness resides on both sides of the political spectrum.

Lose the hate...its dragging you down.

No, it's not like disliking someone because of the color of their skin because what you drive is a choice.

Do you make judgements about people who live on huge estates costing millions of dollars? Their homes are bigger than yours (at least I assume so). Does that annoy you like big vehicles seems to?

Ya see they got their money by hook, crook, incredibly hard work, superior skill, incredible luck, or something else equally distant from the ordinary person. But they have every right to it. That is the backbone of our economic and political system. That is what America is about. That is what the Land of Opportunity means.

They will adapt with the times in their own way in their own time. It will be their choice and nobody else's. That's the way it should and has to be.

Nope, I still want them to drill (responsibly) as much as possible until I see $.99 /gallon gasoline.

Then we can look at other forms of energy.

But arguably people chose their own religions, so in a way it is like that isn't it?
