Dear HCN:
Your comment about
accident rates among four-wheel drives (Heard around the West, HCN,
12/25/95) was pretty amusing – especially so for us (liberal) East
Coasters who rarely see any snow in the city of Baltimore. So many
yuppies have succumbed to the need to buy these big gas hogs after
being influenced by advertising. It makes a lot of sense to own one
of those beasts when you are sitting in beltway traffic hurrying to
your power job so that you can make those monthly payments while
dreaming that you are riding across the wilderness in comfort and
style.
To paraphrase the Neville Brothers: When
is everyone gonna wake up?
