war and pop culture!?

I don't know anything about pop culture or about whats going on. I barerly watch tv or movies...so the only things cause say are car comercials. That's right car commercials. A few years ago, everyone wanted a hummer or a big SUV. Want to know why? We want to protect ourselves from any danger, by being in a large car. The Hummers are basically civilian military vehicles. If you look at the design the newer hummers are smaller versions of military vehicles without the mounted guns. War has made people want to feel safe, so they buy bigger cars. Of course this was before gas prices started to soar.
