Hey, some of us have Thules on our SUVs! They rock!
Gas mileage of the SUVs is a bit worse than econoboxmobiles, but
if I can't find a large enough parking space, I just drive up on
top of one of those Geo Metros not parked in the "compact car
only" spots.
At one time, I was actually part of the environmentalist
movement. I spent quite a bit of time documenting oil spills
contaminating lakes, ponds and ground water. Even photographed
an illegal chemical storage site and a pile (200-300) of car
batteries in a stream. All to no avail. Not a single
environmentalist group wanted to touch a "REAL" issue. They
decided that the Spotted Owl, Acid Rain (remember that?), and
Chlorine-based paper bleaching were the real evils of the world
and they didn't want to dirty their hands with anything that was
legitimate. I took evidence directly to various state and
federal agencies (DNR/EPA) and was told in no uncertain terms
that they wouldn't do anything (Reagan administration). One
newspaper took up one issue, but was otherwise more interested
in skewering politicians than investigative reporting.
One day, I came across an illegal dump managed and maintained by
the Michigan DNR. That one I took to the governers office. The
dump was cleaned up and gone within two weeks.
On the subject of Apples, I've just got my first Apple today!!!!
An Apple IIc.
