Lately people have been bitching and moaning. "Demand more from OPEC!!!!!" "Lets pull out the national reserve!!!!" You selfish little crybabies! Chances are most of you whiny fuckers are sporting a SUV. Chances are, you are a part of the problem. Chances are, you are a fucking asshole. So what if it's costs $75 to fill up. Serves you right and i want to persoanlly thank you for taking my $12 weekly gas bill to $15. I want to personally thank you for being such a dick for sucking up gas at twice the rate and polluting at twice the rate of your average compact sedan or economic car. The national reserve is for emergencies and shortages, NOT for high prices and pressure from little crybabies like you and you and you. You arrogant fuck, you hAVe the nerve to demand other countries increase output to meet OUR demands??? You should be slapped with an iron glove repeatedly for your stupidity. GOD DAMN!!! Somethings get me really irritated, this matter being key. "Let's have a gas out!!!!!!" Oh yeah, thats brilliant. Lets just not spend money today, only to bombard the pumps tomorrow, right? Are you really gonna leave your car in the garage and walk, bike or train it to work for a few days, muchless weeks? I doubt it. So whats your point? What will that accomplish? Unless you are willing to change your ways entirely, this silly idea of a gas out only makes the corporate wigs laugh because they KNOW you will be back the following week. You still need gas. Your car doesn't run on civil disobedience, if you could even call this notion such. grrrrrrrrrrrr thank you for letting me vent Mark |
even at $2 a gallon gas is cheap when compared to the $4 or so a gallon most other countries pay. no opinions here, just pointing things out. i could give a fuck. |
Nate, you're smoking ditch weed on the Republican thing. The Repubs don't have the slightest control over oil output; hell, they don't even have control over their own party. Witness the rise of McCain, when every single party hack was sucking Bush's dick and trying to jam a stick in McCain's spokes. Besides, if they wanted to wreck the economy, they'd just have to slip the word to their boy Greenspan. And I don't care what other countries pay for gas; that, like in the US, is mostly government-imposed taxes, not market-rationalized costs. I belive that's cinching. |
you don't need to smoke -ditch- weed to have paranoid conspiracy episodes. it's just... it's just that the bushs control so much oil. |
|
c'mon. conspiracies, man. |
now ties to ....southeast asia and south (sniff sniff) america are more plausable. |
I lived in europe for years, and learned to use the juice sparingly, wisely, thoughtfully, just cause it was pricey. It has been artificially low for years. What burned my grass the worst tho was seeing asshole hippy kids drive big vehicles to lamely protest, "No blood for oil" during the gulf war. Bullshit, bullshit bullshit. They could have WALKED, they could give up AC once in a while, they could actually THINK of how to conserve the earth mother. But no it was just a feel good thing to do, then drive off to shop or whatever, while my brothers in my tank division payed in blood on foreign soil. Instead of gas outs, people should just carpool once in a blue moon. Ride the bike to the dry cleaner. Something. se green party member/combat veteran |

Until the train heads into the west valley, I am stuck. I used to study japanese, read the paper, relax, now I sit in irritating traffic, watching my life go by. |

I am currently shopping around for a new car. Old Betsy still runs like a charm/but I just know my hoopdee is gonna give out on me one day when I least expect it/so I'm saving for a downpymt. NOW. And I am determined to find an electric car next time around. I saw a Honda commercial for a gas-electric hybrid called the Insight/but it was bullshit. The electric motor only "assists' to add power to the gas engine. If they release an electric VW Beetle/I'll be over the moon! |
I am personally waitin gfor tubes, like on Futurama. |
this one I see lots and parking garages that offer recharging spaces. It's available, and feasable. However the root of the problem is American mentality. We can cut the taxes (which will cut money from some public source be it education, parks, healthcare etc), whine to OPEC, as if they have ANY obligation to meet our needs, or bug the prez to dip into the national reserve (personally i'd like to have this in the event of a war or national disaster). But these measures don't solve the problem at hand and that is our rampant consumption. |
