are you really saying that lottery tickets are a wise investment? I invoke the mystical powers of common sense.
The odds of winning the last Mega Millions drawing was 1 in 170M. How much would you have to “invest” in order to make the odds more in your favor?
Put me on the list of people who don’t understand why some people have such a problem with my SUV.
My SUV is safe. If it is more likely to kill you in your little car, well, that’s not my problem, is it?
I drive an SUV with a hightened rollover risk. I drive my SUV with that risk in the back of my mind, always. I always wear my seatbelt, for example. I do not drive agressively. These two traits negate the rollover risk almost completely.
My SUV gets “bad” gas mileage. So what. Gas is cheap, cheaper than water. If gas were more expensive, perhaps I’d reconsider the fondness that I have for my SUV. But it isn’t, so I won’t.
My SUV provides me many benefits. It’s a roomy family vehicle. I am a large person, and I have a relatively large family. My SUV fits my lifestyle.
The complaints about SUVs reveal more about the psychological hangups of the complainers more than actual faults of SUVs.
