Critical thinking skills

I've been amusedsaddened by the "No Blood for Oil" bumper stickers. Bumper stickers, that's right, on cars, all of which (that I've seen so far) have been the standard gasoline-burning variety.

Seems to me anyone who can boil down the current situation to such a simple essence would have no problem reaching the logical conclusion that driving a car is inherently evil. Unless, of course, such a conclusion would be personally inconvenient.

Dunno. But most people driving the old clunkers can't afford anything else, really. Whereas those driving new SUVs often COULD afford to buy a smaller, less fuel-hogging vehicle.

Yeah. There is that.

(Me, I drive something that's reaching clunker stage, but I'm just too lazy and too ticked at the whole car buying schtick to go get a new car. Call me irrational...)
