12. Humans will use every drop of oil on earth. That's certain.

Whether we do that in ten years or sixty is pretty unimportant, on an environmental time-line.

But if blindly bashing a section of the public for your perception of their impact on the environment makes you feel better, then go crazy.

If joe sixpack has an Excursion but rides his bike to the 7-11 everyday, is he more of an impact on the environment than then the guy who drives his Prius there everyday?

Sweeping generalizations based on what someone has in his garage is very unprogressive, and rather offensive to me personally. We have two trucks in my family. We use them both when we feel it's appropriate (which in our case does not mean everyday), and that's not for you to judge.
