Gosh, that's a bit severe. Now, putting "I support terrorism" bumper
stickers on H2s and Suburbans is FUNNY... :-)

I think it is situational.
I have a long drive to and from Work..fifty miles each way that I
despise having to do. When I am nearly home, on my winding country
road, I curse the bicyclists who ride two abreast, because their
conversation is far more imortant than anything I could possibly be
doing.
Then the instant I get home, I get out of my car and onto my bicycle,
and seethe with hatred at the SUV/HMV drivers that are struggling so
hard to stay somewhere on the road, their beery little heads
overwhelmed with the challenge, or "Moooo! Gotta get the kids to
SOCCER- What is this rider's life worth compared to THAT?", etc. etc.
youknowtherest.
