Hippie Jesus-looking freaks

Driving to work yesterday, in my daylight savings haste, I was cut off. Some asshole who looked like Jesus and had a peace sign on his license plate gave me the finger and then waved me out of his lane. It reminded me very much of a song I once heard:

Son, look at all the people in this restaurant
What do you think they weigh?
And out the window to the parking lot
At their SUV's taking all the space

They give no fuck
They talk as loud as they want
They give no fuck
Just as long as there's enough for them

Gonna get on the microphone down at Wal-Mart
Talk about some shit that's been on my mind
Talk of the state of this great nation of ours
People look to your left
Yeah, look to your right

They give no fuck
They buy as much as they want
They give no fuck
Just as long as there's enough for them

Son, look at the people lining up for plastic
Wouldn't you like to see them in the National Geographic?
Squatting bare assed in the dirt eating rice from a bowl
With a towel on their head, and maybe a bone in their nose

See that asshole with the peace sign on his license plate?
Giving me the finger and running me out of his lane
God made us number one because he loves us the best
Well he should go bless someone else for a while
Give us a rest

I actually happened to be listening to this song as I was cut off on the road, which made me chuckle, but it all made me think. I had to wonder about arrogance and superiority, and it's a long drive to work, so I came up with a lot.
I realized that I am bothered by hippie jerks, that's what I will call them for lack of a better term. You know the type, the ones with WWF stickers on their backpacks and who carry PETA signs and red paint in their trunk.
It's not because one cut me off and gave me the finger, because then I would hate old men and moms in minivans, and it's not because they constantly try and push their values on me that I hate this demographic. I guess I don't like them, because of the superiority complex that they seem to carry. I am an American, and thus a consumer; we are a nation of materialistic consumers, and I am happy to fall in line with that. Sure, I try and do my part to help the environment, I mean I recycle and I buy cotton, but I like driving and bottled water. And as Ben Folds sang, 'God made us number one because he loves us the best'. So, these Jesus-looking hippie freaks can preach to me all they want and can yell at me for wasting food and causing global warming, but I don't care. I act on things that I am passionate and concerned about, but I don't try and push my values on other people, and neither should they, and don't even get me started on the stupidity of vegetarians, because that's a topic for another day.
