Naw.  See, I just don't care.  Right or wrong, I don't care.  Like it or
not, I don't care.  I'm willing to admit that my truck uses more fuel,
and as a result, expels more pollutants.  That much can't be argued
with.  But I don't feel the least bit guilty about my choice in
vehicles.  You're allowed to be upset with me, with my choice of
transportation, and with my attitude - and I'm allowed to shrug it off.

If it makes you feel better, I end up paying more in fuel and road usage
taxes - the dividends of which I can only assume go to fund research to
make vehicles that are just as powerful as mine and get better fuel
mileage (among other things) - I point to recent advances in diesel
engines as an example.  If not, then, what can I say...
