FACING UP TO NICENESS

I have been noticing, of late, all the snarling, glowering, tough-guy faces on cars--especually on American cars. On some of the big European cars,too. Waiting at traffic lights, they seem to say CHALLENGE and AGGRESSION.

Wouldn't the world be better off--maybe just a little, but better, still--if our cars didn't seem to want to be violent?

I suspect that a man who drove a car with big pink and white rabbit's ears might might find it harder to be a competitive driver. A car whose grill smiled might not try to squeeze other drivers changing lanes. A driver whose car looked like it was wearing big round classes might feel meek or shy even. A golden retriever? A happy young collie? Maybe a goose?

Why not?
