No, it's just me ranting.

Anti-SUV folks need to organize. Detroit Project is a good start, but I
think there needs to be a group specificly advocating for the safety dangers
posed by SUV's, apart from the environmental concerns (which are no less
legitimate, but Detroit Project seems to focus on the environmental risks).

At one time cigarette smoking was very popular in this country too. Just
because SUV's are common, doesn't mean the tide can't turn against it if you
lay out the evidence- and the evidence for SUV's is that they put other
drivers in danger by poor handling characteristics, poor braking, poor tire
choices, and high suspensions- and they obscure the view for other drivers.
In the hands of an inexperienced individual, they also are quite capable of
killing the selfsame driver.

If all Americans drove real cars with as few trucks as possible, with
good airbags, and we all buckled up, we'd all be safer. An SUV might be
safer in a pure vehicular collision for the driver, but it also starts from
the assumption that a collision is inevitable and that an individual has no
social responsability (I could make myself safe from burglarly, for
instance, by mounting chainguns that are hooked up to a motion sensor on my
property, but when the mailman gets chewed to pieces by a thousand bullets,
I don't think that's too socially responsable, right?). It also focuses too
much on frontal collisions- in a side collision with another SUV the SUV is
going to be just as vulnerable as the car to car collision. So the arms
race for a bigger car nedes to stop. All the soccer moms need to put
their sprogs in a station wagon and exercise some common sense.
