IMHO, they are the epitome of selfishness. So please do not make a blanket accusation.

I hate to say it but we all do things or purchase things that will inevitablly hurt the environment or human rights. I don't want to step on everyone's views and I'm only harvesting friendly debate...however I for one am thankful for SUV's because they allow my family and myself to get around when it snows. I can't begin to tell you how many times I got stuck in the snow in my small vehical and had to rely on my father's Blazer to rescue me
I suppose we should all stop purchasing diamonds because of the whole funding of terrorist groups in sierra leon (spelling?)! OH! And don't buy anything Sapphire this Christmas because the largest supply of Natural Sapphires is...from Afghanistan
