FUH2: The H2 Salute

I thought this was appropriate following the recent discussion of Prerenaturalism.

Every time I see a Hummer it makes me mad. But, it made me smile to come across FUH2 because it reminded me that not everyone in this country calls American excess, "Patriotism".

The H2 is a gas guzzler. Because it has a gross vehicle weight rating over 8500 lbs, the US government does not require it to meet federal fuel efficiency regulations. Hummer isn't even required to publish its fuel economy (owners indicate that they get around 10 mpg for normal use). So while our brothers and sisters are off in the Middle East risking their lives to secure America's fossil fuel future, H2 drivers are pissing away our "spoils of victory" during each trip to the grocery store.
