Gas Prices

I am really sick of hearing people complain about the gas prices! Yes, they are they highest they have ever been! Yes, it stinks! But we have been so spoiled for so long! I was in Australia in 2001 and the gas was like $1.40/liter! That's over $5.00/gallon! Hell, for at least the last six years, the average gas price in Canada has been double that of ours! Right now, in Australia, gas is over $6.00/gallon and in the UK it's over $9.00/gallon! So what the hell are we bitching about!

I'll tell you what: we're bitching because it costs over $100 to fill up our Hummers, which we have to fill up at least once a week because they get such poor gas mileage! Why don't we think about getting smaller vehicles? Because we are spoiled! We think that we can do what ever the hell we want, live our lives without a thought to anyone else, raise our children to be just a spoiled and selfish as we are!

We say "Vote for McCain and our gas prices will go down!" Yeah...maybe... He'll go drill the Alaskan wilderness and go to war with Iran! If you ask me, those two things will balance out and we'll still be stuck at $4.00/gallon, if not more! Will he give back the money to the sciences that Bush took away? You know, the money that should be funding projects such as finding alternative fuel sources, but instead is going to kill innocent people in Iraq and Afghanistan. I doubt the sciences will be seeing much more money from the Republicans. But what do I know?

The only thing I know is that I'm going to chew out the next SUV driver I hear complaining about gas prices! Should be fun!
