That it's a arms race doesn't make it better for society as a whole. It sucks.

    Agreed.

    But also? I care a lot more about me and my loved ones than a nebulous "society". And I am not going to drastically increase risk to me and my partner in the interest of standing on principle*. Especially when "society" continues to get giant pickup trucks on lift kits with fucking spikes for bumpers.

    *: Although, I WILL be one of those weirdos who does a LOT of research on fuel economy and efficiency so that I can feel better about technically driving an SUV.
