One of the major problems with Elmer Fudd is the low quality of life that he inflicts upon normal people: the people around him who are forced to live next to him.

But the quality of life takes a back seat -- pun intended! -- to another major problem with Elmers: They're killing our children on the highways of America in numbers not seen since the bad old days of the 1960's when fast cars were combined with no seat belts and lots of heavy metal with seemingly no regard for the health and safety of others.

Highway statistics are showing that some 2,000 fatalities occur in the United States every year that should not have been fatalities. (They were killed because the SUVs that Elmer drives bypassed normal vehicles' safety devices, usually because they ride over them and directly attack the kids in normal people's cars.)

Less than half of the fatalities involve children, fortunately (that 2,000 is 2,000 above and beyond the "forgivable" fatalities that these SUVs commit against normal drivers.

Elsewhere on this web site we here at Stop Elmer Fudd have noted some of the reasons why Elmer's SUVs are killing normal people and normal people's kids so we won't delve into the mechanics and physics involved.

What we do want to take a look at, however, is the mindset that Elmer has wherein he's perfectly hapy slaughtering innocent kids in other cars so long as he himself and his own kids survive the crashes that the SUV drivers cause in the vast majority of highway fatalities on America's roads.

At core is the following mindset:

• Elmer thinks he's safe in his SUV -- invincible, in fact. The fact that when he collides with another SUV or when he drives his surrogate penis into a brick wall, he doesn't enjoy a swapping of energies that gives him and his own Elmer Spawn a better chance at survival and the people and kids of normal cars he kills.

• Elmer thinks it's okay to slaughter other people and their children just so long as he himself walks away from the accidents he usually causes. After all, it's survival of the fittest out there, right? In fact no, it's not: America got along quite well together on the highway, Elmers with normal people, for many decades without Elmer's surrogate penis (he had other compensators.)

• Elmer thinks that gasoline will always be plentyful and cheap despite the news reports (and since Elmers are all Republicans the only news they watch is the FOX Network's fake "News") and despite the cost of gasoline at the pump and despite the low gasoline milage they get, Elmer always manages to retain his belief that gasoline will always be there for when he needs to fill the tanks of his irresponsible surrogate penis.

• Elmer thinks that pollution or global warming are myths concocted by "the liberal" which are actually some Communist propaganda of some sort. At minimum Elmers will never acept the fact that their gas guzzlers are the cause for the increase in poor air quality after a decade of improvements around the United States before Elmer's SUVs were introduced to cater to morons.

• Elmer thinks that anybody who informs him of his irresponsibility and the fact that he's a ticking time bomb just waiting to slaughter someone else's kids, the normal people trying to make him see reason are themselves crazy, Communists, terrorists, or otherwise wrong. Elmers are incapable of being ashamed of what they do because they are incapable of recognizing that there's a lot of things they do that they should be ashamed of. And if they were normal people instead of Elmers, they would be ashamed.

The mindset that says it's okay to put other people at risk just so you yourself and your own kids will survive is a typically Republican mindset, of course. And that's fitting because all Elmers are Republicans.

Normal people actually care about the environment.

Normal people actually accept the fact that gasoline isn't going to be around forever and that it doesn't grow on some magical tree in the Middle East somewhere.

Normal people realize that an equitable vehicle on the highways of America where one shares the risks equally with all the other drivers is the best way to ensure that everybody's partaking in the safest mode of automotion possible; Normal people know that they're not invincible and they know that the occupants of other vehicles are just as valuable and just as cherished as everyone else. (Unless the other vehicle is populated with Elmers, of course, in which case it's a plus if they take themselves out of the gene pool.)

The greed of Elmers is evidenced in so many ways that are all tied together that the final equation is simple:

The mindset of Elmers in their SUVs or out in the woods pretending they're hunting when in fact they're only shooting at rocks... The mindset of Elmers is completely different than that of normal people. This isn't to say that Elmers don't love their children: they do. But they're willing to weigh the health and safety of their own kids against the near certain slaughter of other people's kids without realizing that their own chances aren't so greatly improved as to make their irresponsible, deadly choice of an automobile remotely reasonable.
