   There's a German SUV that almost challenges common sense --the G class-- until   
   you realize the the president of Zimbabwe and his entourage need dignified   
   vehicles. For the rest of us, we can be happy with small efficient vehicles   
   that do NOT put others    
   at risk.   
      
   How the SUV became a symbol of masculinity and power? TV, it's all about   
   commercials. What if we banned SUVs from TV like we do with tobacco?   
      
   That would be interesting. I produce some necklaces that boost the male pride   
   without endangering others. That's the bottom line. We should not unleash the   
   arms race on our roads.
