Hey, man, it's a win-win. The rest of us like you paying twice as much to fill up. It's like a tax on stupidity.

stupidity, yeah, that's why I have a job that pays me enough to not have to worry about $5 gas, right? that's quality logic buddy

So you would just toss away freedom of choice ? Will you feel the same way when they want to legislate something that would impact you ? Why dont you show the posters here just how it should be legislated.. You are way off point. It goes far beyond the SUV, are you prepared to legislate that as well ?
Funny how when your a non-smoker your all for banning smoking. When you dont drink, your all for taxing booze. When you drive a small car you all for taxing/charging those who dont. Get my point ???
The system is broken and Hybrid's arent the answer. Conservation on all fronts is, stopping the speculation is. Ending the War and working on strengthing the economy is. Stop the NIMBY concept and accept that we NEED to find alternate energies. They exist, we just dont want them used in OUR back yards.

Yeah, there was a real nice 2 billion-dollar operational nuclear power plant ready to go back in the 80's, but DEM Cuomo "the Homo" knuckled- under to the chicken littles and anti-nuke loons, pulled the plug and bought it for a buck without it generating so much as a Watt for LI'ers. But, you guys are still paying for it every month.

So, which party bears the most responsibility for the current energy crisis?

LI people are too fat for small cars. Their *asses* would get stuck! This is why SUVs are necessary on LI.

Right. So everyone in Washington is at or below a BMI of 25?

Humor aside there is some truth to this.
