More evidence that people shouldn't have any rights at all (From the Philadelphia Inquirer):

With gas prices low, SUVs roar back

So long, cute little economy car. Welcome back, big truck, buddy ol' pal.

Americans who fled to small vehicles during $4-a-gallon gas are rushing back into the arms of sport-utility vehicles and light trucks, reversing a trend in which economy cars soared in popularity while consumers ditched brawny gas hounds.

"Americans don't want to drive little cars," said Sophia Koropeckyj, a senior economist and auto-markets analyst with Moody's Economy.com in West Chester. "They really prefer larger vehicles, and gas prices have receded more than half since the summer. That's the only conclusion there is."

Here's a quick note to everyone buying SUV's... Gas prices will go up again. Actually, I have a few notes. Gas prices will go up again, SUV's still use MORE gas which makes them MORE expensive, you're probably not going to take your vehicle "off-roading." JUST BUY A FUCKING ACCORD.
