Why would you ever drive an SUV?
It doesn't make sense at all why people drive SUVs. Why would I choose to drive something that keeps me safe and puts other people at greater risk? Why would I care about myself more than other people? Why would I ever want to do something in my own self-interest?
Here's an analogy. Imagine you're in a room full of people. Unfortunately, it's a scary situation because everyone just happens to be armed with a weapon. For the most part, things are peaceful, but sometimes people get into fights. You never want to pick a fight so you're very careful. But sometimes other people pick fights with you and sometimes they don't even mean to. The thing is you can choose your weapon to be either a club or a gun. Let's say everyone has a club. You would never want to choose to have a gun because that would mean when a fight broke out between you and someone else, you'd survive and other person wouldn't. Quite naturally, you would choose a club so that when, despite how careful you were, you somehow ended up in a fight, both you and the other person would be torn to shreds.
You can easily apply this to the road where clubs are cars and guns are SUVs. Why would you ever want to choose the SUV, which makes you safer at the expense of others? We all put others before ourselves, and choosing a car means that when you crash, both of you will suffer equally but less so than someone getting hit by an SUV. But maybe you both get destroyed. If you choose to drive an SUV, you at least increase your chances of survival even though the other person's chances are decreased. By driving an SUV, you're basically saying, "I'm more important to me than some stranger I've never met." So then why would you ever buy an SUV?

Haha, it's like hearing Mike and I talk about SUVs. Same reasons presented -- REGARDLESS of their horrible gas mileage and high levels of pollution (which are formidable in and of themselves), there simply is no reason to choose a motor vehicle that puts others at such high risk. Way to stick it to the man.
P.S. Kyle's a Blogger now, LOL!
buddy you are a f'cking moron if you haven't realized that this ia a dog-eat-dog world and i don't give a flying f'ck about the safety of other people on hte street. my family has been screwd with enough and im going to do everthing in my power to make sure no more of that happens even if it means buying a escalade. u would do the same if you knew what i've been through.... so before you judge me and other SUV owners maybe try to understand us first. take your head out of yuour ass and quit it with your idealistic liberal bullshit, then close down this sorry excuse for a blog. -mike s.
