QUESTION 33

I was appalled to read that many communities are accommodating¾or pandering to¾the owners of sport utility vehicles by increasing the size of parking spaces. Apparently, officials in these cities just want to go with the flow, when they could be using parking-space politics to encourage the use of smaller, more fuel-efficient cars. When will Americans come to their senses and see the S.U.V. for what it is? It's an outsized extension of egotistical consumerism. I'm sick of being pushed around by the egotists in their Tahoes and Excursions who think nothing of misusing nonrenewable oil and gas reserves, as well as increasing pollution.
