Not again. So many times these lefty socialists want to kill cars and start labeling them as the evil tools of the rich and the destroyers of the poor. Sure, inefficient, polluting cars have been the toys of the rich for an entire century. But if they want to finger the car as creating global-warming hordes of demonic tailpipes, maybe they should look out the window. It's not the big fatcats reclining in the backs of their limos that are belching out the majority of the CO2 that's trapping heat in our atmosphere (disclaimer: CO2 is definitely a greenhouse gas, exhibit A: Venus, but I hold no opinion on the impact of manmade CO2 on the Earth). No, it's every single family hatchback, sedan, and van taking tax-paying, hard-working, aspirational people to work, home, and in between. Sheer, fucking numbers, people.. for every 10MPG Lambo sold, a hundred compact cars disgorge onto the roadways over thirty times the tailpipe breath that the Italian weekend toy would ever hope to exhale. Yes, let's pry the wheels from the wretched masses, and stop them from reaching higher than their given lot in life, let them be simple and where they ought to be! Let's stop torching SUVs and start torching Toyota Corollas, all for being so damn affordable and reliable and falling into the hands of millions of unworthily satisfied buyers throughout the world, and being such an attainable goal for those whose automotive aspirations are almost within reach! Make a human chain in front of every car dealership, turning away the exhausted masses in India, China, Thailand, anyone who's toiled for the privilege to have the slightest control over one's physical destiny! Let's destroy the mobile social ladder, for the true cause of global warming is the human desire to reach higher! Send them back to the manors, the peasant farms, and the low-emissions hell of poverty, destitution, and feudalism! Save the earth and crush their dreams!
...I think that's off my chest now.
