I agree to an extent, I find it pathetic how much people rely on luxuries
in their day to day life. Perhaps this trend will continue for another 20
years, all the yuppies will starve to death b/c they can't afford food at
the store (yes, gas prices DO reflect grocery prices) and they don't have
clue #1 about "living off the land".
Hellfire, part of me would welcome such a change. Thin out this world
some, I'll embrace the dreariness and move back home, into the hills where
my 6th great grandparents were the 1st honkies to settle the North Shore of
(now) Fontana Lake.
So bring on your $20/gal gas, close Walmart and Kroger, and let's see if
Darwin's Natural Selection idea holds it's case!! :)

Ok first I want to say that my only expense is insurance and gas because I
am
spoiled, I guess, and still live with my mom, and I only have a 4cyl, but
what is up with the complaining about the prices. I am not talking about
here on the list but on the news and what not, I understand not liking it
but
these people act like it is the end of the world. No one says that you
must
go on vacation, stay home this year, and I betch ya the califorina beaches
are going to be just as packed every weekend this year as any other no
matter
what the prices. It is not just gas either, all energy, some old lady in
California on the news tonight was complaining about how expensive it will
be
to run her air conditioner this year, SO DON"T it is not that hard of a
decision. It now costs and extra $1.50 to go to the San Deigo Zoo to keep
the animals at the right temp, wow, thats terrible, how could people afford
that! (sarcasm intended). Anyway it might cost someone an extra $30 bucks
a
month for gas, so don't buy your morning latte (actually do, I have stock
in
Starbucks) skimp somewhere else. And if these people can afford gas
sucking
SUVs they can pay more at the pump. Whatever, thats just my two cents, I
guess I needed to vent a little. Thanks for taking the time to here me out.
