I care about the Earth a lot; I send a lot of things that cannot be recyled locally to a recycler in Chicago, though I do not know what kind of a carbon footprint is created by this act.

Anyway, if GM is profitable because of Hummer, then let it be. It is the people who choose to drive these monstrosities of innefficiency and self-worship. The idea that a car is "safer" because you can mow down a family in a Ford Escort and not get yourself hurt is preposterous. Now with the fuel price increase, the Hummer is even more a symbol of excess, because only those to whom money does not matter, or those with very high limits on their credit cards, can afford its operation.
