I support Aaron Gordon's right to express his opinions, which I happen to share. I also assert that people who buy and drive gratuitously huge trucks are polluting the atmosphere, which affects me and my family and which gives me a right to weigh in on this. [Note: I did not downvote you - that was other people.]

Polluting the atmosphere, sure, but don't forget that their masses and geometries also put other road users in direct mortal danger to a degree that reasonably sized cars don't. It's almost funny how so many large SUV and truck owners actively project the attitude their vehicular choices imply: "I don't give a shit about anybody but myself."

In addition to not driving a truck did you also give up meat which is a far bigger harm to the environment?

  As a matter of fact I have given up eating beef (except for certain special occasions involving traditional family foods) and drinking cow's milk for this very reason. I also restrict my intake of pork, which is the next most environmentally-damaging food animal. I'm definitely not a vegetarian, more like a flexitarian.

    > except for certain special occasions involving traditional family foods Nice, we are trying to get there. Down to kike once or twice a month for red meat. Rest is vegetarian and chicken maybe twice a week.

      Yep, we gotta do what we can starting with where we're at.
