Reflections from Fr. Brian

Fourth Sunday of Easter

Lee Iacocca, the former head of Chrysler Corporation asks in a recent book why the SUV has been such a success. What is the purpose? Very few people go off road, so it’s not because they need a rugged all terrain vehicle. The SUV doesn’t have the passenger or storage capacity of a minivan, or the good ride and handling of a car. So, what is the motivation for buying an SUV? Why are people lugging around all that extra weight? Bigger engines (usually V8s) are not known for fuel economy and low emissions. Iacocca attributes it to fear. He writes, “I think the SUV feeds a strong desire for security and control on the road. In this day and age, people want to put as much steel and iron around them as they can. They equate weight with safety. It’s a factor, but in no way compares to solid structural design and the use of multiple air bags… With thousands of other SUVs speeding past them, not to mention eighteen wheelers and cement mixers, drivers just feel more secure. It’s a perception and Detroit promoted it. One SUV brand advertised itself with the headline, “Look upon it as a 4,000 pound security blanket…” Iacocca adds, “If you want guaranteed safety on the road, why not drive a tank!” The Sunday supplement magazine, USA Weekend, ran a cover story sometime back titled “Fear: What Americans Are Afraid of Today.” In a scientific poll, the magazine uncovered the things Americans fear most: 54% are “afraid” or “very afraid” of being in a car crash. 53% are “afraid” or “very afraid” of having cancer. 50% are “afraid” or “very afraid” of inadequate Social Security. 49% are “afraid” or “very afraid” of not having enough money for retirement. 35% are “afraid” or “very afraid” of getting Alzheimer’s. 33% are “afraid” or “very afraid” of being a victim of individual violence. 32% are “afraid” or “very afraid” of being unable to pay current debts. The late Charles Schulz, creator of The Peanuts Comic strip, presents Lucy in a tender moment with Charlie Brown. Lucy is plucking the petals of a daisy saying, as she glances affec-tionately at Charlie Brown, who is seated comfortable under the shade of a tree, “He loves me, he loves me not; “He loves me, he loves me not: “He loves me, he loves me not; “He loves me!!! Charlie Brown, you love me!” Charlie Brown responds, “Gosh Lucy, I could have told you that!” Remorsefully, Lucy replies, “Well, why didn’t you Charlie Brown? Why didn’t you?” Christ has told us that throughout the Gospels, you and I need to remember that especially when the going gets tough and we have to love as we are loved.
