The discussion of whether SUV's are safe or not may be an interesting discussion in itself (it isn't to me), but let's not forget what issue started it.

Frankly, it doesn't make a darn bit of difference whether SUVs are safe or not. It's a private citizen's right to own one, or, heck, own twenty, and, Julian, if you have a "pet hate" over the lifestyle of people who live thousands of miles away from you, then I would say you don't have a very good sense about where to spend your emotional energy.
