I may laugh at pretty much every Hummer driver I meet, and make cracks about overcompensation for a tiny manhood by owning a giant land tank, but I certainly don’t think that smashing their Hummer with baseball bats and carving slogans into it is the right way to apply social pressure to those who drive them. That’s exactly what happened in Northwest recently, with a a Hummer getting wrecked by people who think that everyone oughtta drive a tiny little Prius instead.
Look, I may not like Hummer SUVs, but beating the crap out the cars isn’t the answer to the problem, either. Don’t be a dick to people like that, it’s just not cool, even if you think they’re ruining the environment, it’s not okay to smash their car.

I live and work in the District of Columbia. I write at We Love DC, a blog I helped start, I work at Technolutionary, a company I helped start, and I’m happy doing both. I enjoy watching baseball, cooking, and gardening. I grow a mean pepper, keep a clean scorebook, and wash the dishes when I’m done. Read Why I Love DC.
