One of my readers tells me "That's just not right" in reference to yesterday's statement that I flip off people who drive Hummers.
I admit it is a rude gesture. However, I'm also aware that Hummers are huge, expensive status symbols that consume large quantities of gasoline and, in accidents, are particularly lethal to people driving smaller cars (like my Saturn). People who drive Hummers believe that it is alright to use up a greater share of valuable resources and to harm others, albeit accidently, when accidents happen.
Anyways, giving someone the finger is covered by the First Amendment.
Anyone else want to tell me what else I'm doing wrong?
