If we bore the cost at the pump of our enormous military subsidy of oil, I think folks would make different choices and would drag the Big Three kicking and screaming into a more responsible reality. As it is, we pay the subsidy through our income taxes and our children's income taxes, separating us from the reality of our decisions.

Big three? Gee... let's see what Nissan is selling lots of now.... hmmmmmm.
Trucks and SUVs are about choice and lifestyle. That you can afford two cars to burn fuel and hold twice the oil for one person is great, but not, exactly, saving the planet.
Soon they will be using alternative fuels and all this will be moot, have fun ranting.
