Gun Shy Makes an Observation About Selfish America

I was out and about today, and I saw this Hummer in a parking lot with a tag on the front that was written backwards so you could read it in your rear view mirror that said “Move the F__K Over”. My first thought was, that if this obviously self impressed “road warrior” rolled up on me with his yuppie mobile in an antagonistic power play type of action, he would probably be really pi$$ed by the time he eventually got around me, because road raging bullies don’t sit well with ol’ Gun Shy. First of all, if the Hummer is not Mil Issue, then to me it is nothing more than a gas guzzling luxury vehicle for latte sipping gerbils who couldn’t stand to live without all their plush amenities. I remember being in a mountain area a few years ago, and the tourists would pull up in their Hummers, and step out with a pair of brand new hiking boots on that had never seen a trail. They would then walk to the nearest outside café, and sit and drink cocktails while feeling like they were roughing it like real rugged outdoors types. I just had to chuckle and shake my head. In all of this, I have come to the conclusion that having a big pseudo intimidating vehicle is kind of like having a big gun. It is no substitute for your equipment if you get my drift.
