The New Buffalo Slaughterers

You know, someday people are going to look back at our particular era and wonder just what the heck were we thinking. I take my daughter to school in the mornings and I'm surrounded by gigantic Tyrannosaurus Rex Vehicles. I pull into the school drive and am nearly run down by a blond woman in a Hummer. A Hummer! We're sucking up oil from the planet and spewing out filth that eats at the ozone layer, but hey, someone told us we were cool in our Hummers so who cares about the planet? It's just like those white guys on the trains in the old west. Why shoot just one buffalo when you can shoot one thousand? Or the fashionable women in the early 20th century sporting the feathers of birds that were made extinct by their vanity.
I guess the writer of Ecclesiastes was right--all is vanity and we are doomed.

I suppose if I were a good environmentalist I wouldn't drive a car at all. That's not a bad plan. I think I'll eventually figure out how to do that. In the meatime I'll just be out there waiting for the day people realize that a Hummer is one of the ugliest cars on the face of the earth.
