Yumiko on Environmental Issues

SUV's are Evil

If there is one thing which embodies the growing menace of certain people's mentalities, it's Sports Utility Vehicles. Ever notice how on SUV commercials, when they show them driving through one of nature's treasures, they always dub music over the monstrous roar of the mechanical beasts and the splintering of trees and yelps of the woodland creatures it just ran over? And how they always strategically pan the camera so as not to show the devastation it leaves in its wake? And the four-mile-apart fuel stations required to keep the thing running?

They're not just a menace in the wilderness, either. They tear down city streets with no regard to the smaller vehicles who they could tear through without triggering their air bags. Plus they tailgate you, run red lights, and get in the way of ambulances. If elected, my team of ninja will scour the country and slash the tires of every last one of these modern monstrosities.
