Can you please stop hurting my country with your hummer?
How is the Hummer hurting the country? Because we are importing oil?

Amusing how you lefties like to use the "Hummer" as the stereotype of the anti green evil greedy earth destroyers. Freind of mine just had to add on to his "McMansion" so he could park both of his "Hummers in there!

Can you please stop hurting my country with your hummer?
Can you please stop worrying about what others do and stop trying to be so controlling?

Please stop hurting my country with your hummer/SUV/Truck

Seems the best way to stop that is to disband those American auto makers producing the machines to which you are opposed.
