    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

    Unless you desperately need the SUV why not take a bus or other public transportation? Would be cheaper and better for the environment/economy

    Unless you're hauling lumber through off-road terrains you don't need to drive an SUV and I'd personally be happier to see them outlawed.
