"FWW is right on, this is bad, and it needs more attention than it is getting from the gov't."
- I find it strange that the president will get up in the middle of the night to become involved in a right to die issue in Florida and seems to do nothing regarding this gas "crisis". We invaded one of the largest oil producing regions in the world to protect the oil supply. Where's my benefit from that?

As my father has told me every time I complain about it gas prices when I have to fill up my 33 gallon tank in my truck. He says:

"Think about it. People pay $1.50 for a 2 LITER bottle of COKE. All that is is sugar and water. It does nothing. You can't run your car on it. SO think about what you are getting out of a GALLON of gas. 17 miles that you don't have to walk."

It is gonna be hard times ahead for a lot of people due to economic changes like what people have talked about. Spending more on gas = spending less on something else. TAxes keep going up, cost of living keeps going up, and income is not.

At least liqour is still abou the same and affordable to help me think less about it.
