The HUMMER a.k.a. the “Iceberg Melter” ,has opened up glamorous new headquarters on Van Nuys Boulevard. Metal clad and brightly lit, the showroom is a welcome architectural addition to this area.

But the Hummer itself, a grossly aggressive monster of the road which gulps gasoline like an alcoholic in a beer garden, is not welcome. To think that in the age of terror, there are Americans who willingly finance Al Queda by driving this obese SUV, is disturbing. As the Earth warms up and the oceans rise, these Hummers are like a million little bullets in the planet Earth’s coffin.
