I get irritated because I really do want to believe that we as a society are somewhat better than the traits embodied in the behavioral choices of (1) owning and driving a so-called "luxury SUV" and (2) attempting to rationalize it.
If I've learned one thing in life it's this: Never, EVER underestimate the capacity of the human to rationalize its behavior.

Principle 1 of Dale Carnegie's book "How to Win Friends and Influence People" is
Don't criticize, condemn or complain.
"Critism is futile because it puts a person on the defensive and usually makes him strive to justify himself."
