This morning's Detroit News brings word that high gas prices and the 6-8 miles per gallon fuel "economy" of the Hummer are driving down sales of the domestic tank.

For some time I've wanted to find out why, exactly, people buy Hummers. (Surely safety isn't the only reason.) My favorite local Hummer is one that features a loon license plate -- meaning the owner is apparently environmentally conscious. Anyone with rumors, facts, or feelings about the attraction to Hummers is genuinely encouraged to post them.
