All Talk and No Action
It’s true that gas prices are high right now – although much lower than most other countries, except Saudi Arabia. And it’s true that we are trying to come with alternative, renewable, domestic fuel sources. But – the fact is – we also NEED TO USE LESS! We spend all of our time bemoaning the fact that gas costs so much as we fill up our low mileage vehicles and drive everywhere we go.
This article from the Washington Post would be amusing, if it were not so true. It talks about how our congressional representatives are busy blaming everyone else for high gas prices while they toodle around in luxury SUVs that get 14 miles to the gallon. Sadly, we can’t just blame Congress for being hypocritial. Anyone who drives a car that gets gas mileage in the teens is just as much to blame.
Just finding alternatives won’t solve the problem. We need to make some sacrifices and change our lifestyles.
And do it NOW, before it’s too late.
Thanks to Gary Dikkers for sending me the article.

The people that are spouting out this babbling crap about buying smaller cars and first thing they say is go by a honda toyota or nissa. I say to them did your bank account all of a sudden get a spike or increase due to you are being paid under the table to write and put this crap out. Fact is there is no gas shortage , its merely the fact that opec wants something for doing nothing which is commen in todays society of the rich and educated.(ROOT OF ALL EVIL IS MONEY/GREED). What we should be spouting off is where are the MORALS, ETHICS, GOLDEN RULES, in the world and not what were driven. I personaly am glad you wrote this article for the mer fact when its all said and done and historians review what you did it will show who was the ones getting paid under the table and trying to run this great country of ours into the ground. As the kids would say in todays world you are BUSTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
