Since when was it decided that the son of god would have ridden a bike.
Personally I don't believe in any of the whole supreme being deal or the
devil for that matter. But if I did I would say the devil would have
driven something with an evil sounding name like "Viper"


Actually God drove a Plymouth, because it says in the bible, "And in his
Fury he drove them out."



I thought he drove a Honda, because "He gathered His disciples in an
Accord".

Is that with the police interceptor transmission or the regular production
transmission?

"The Devil" does not exist. But you do remind me of Don Quixote.
His SUV polluted too.


DonQuixote rode a horse, Rocinante, and Sancho rode a donkey, like
Jesus.

The Devil does not exist but Christians are often found doing evil
things. I have no doubt in my mind though that the Devil would have
driven an SUV if he existed.

Team sports are America's unifying religion.


I think you could say this about any country. Americans don't riot when
their teams lose, though, like the British.

"In New York, there are towers of glass. It is the most beautiful and
terrible city on earth. All good, all evil exist there-- and if you
know where to look, you can find the Devil. He drives down 42nd
street in a Cadillac with black windows. He lives down on Park Avenue
surrounded by his servants."

-- from _Bliss_ by Peter Carey


Well, that settles it, then. He's not in Dallas.

(Sorry to recycle this article but I must clear any suspicions that I
hate the Devil)

Sounds like a personal problem to me.

You still have not given me a rational reason for your strange
hatred of SUVs.


Well, my hatred of SUVs is the same Christians have for the Devil.
Only more comprehensible since I go for the evil in it, not the person
(even if he's the Devil himself).

Now, in my dictionary killing people (even if casually) is evil, and
so is polluting the environment...

'If we want to repeat the mistakes of history or waste money on new
frivolities that will soon become "necessities" and "rights," that's
our business and we have one of the few economies capable of
repeatediy recovering from such folly. There are more serious matters
though, matters of right and wrong - ethics to be considered. I
contend that casually participating in the SUV fad is wrong.

The two reasons I hear for buying an SUV seem to be that: 1) being
high, they provide a better view; and 2) they are safe.

They are surely high. Until recently they provided a better view. That
is, until the roads became littered with them. Once the road is truly
full of SUVs, will any of the drivers have a better view? Of course
not. We're right back where we started. There is an ethical principle
that one should not make something harder for the next person who
comes along. Simply elevating your seat level makes it harder for the
next guy to see as well as you say you need to. This makes you part of
the problem. By the time everyone can see as well as you, no one can
see well any more because all the vehicles are tall. What's next?
Still higher vehicles? Periscopes?

The safety issue with SUVs is very troublesome. It's well known that
SUVs roll over more easily, but owners and potential owners are thick
to this, so there's no point in working it too hard. Let's also only
touch on the fact that these big, heavy vehicles will be hitting each
other more often as their numbers increase, resulting in high-energy
collisions where everybody loses. The real problem, though, is much
more serious than this.

The whole idea of "safe" SUVs requires dedicating oneself to
viciousness or deception. SUVs may be the first product ever
engineered to kill more people which has been successfully marketed
chiefly because e' its safety. In my use of the English Iangu age,
safer things do not in sum cause less safety. You can't have the
safety of an SUv without the danger it manifests to ethers. It's a
package.'
