Re: Steamed up my afternoon
The day the uprising first broke in Tunisia, some 4 months ago, I traded my truck for a tiny-a$$
Chevy Cruze. I thought, "Hmm, this is going to spread fast, and if it gets to Sau.Ara., look out." Well
as usual, I prove to be eerily good at predicting bad. Granted, it was getting time to either fix the
niggling little broke crap and change the Serp. belt or go new vehicle anyway, but....
So my fillup only recently passed what my truck USED to take at the old price. But Chevy lied, it doesn't
even sniff 39 mpg. Of course, I drive like a maniac. But I digress.
1.) STOP ALLOWING speculation on oil futures.
2.) take back all subsidies
3.) get the F OUT of the middle east.
After these three things are done, there will be precious little else we can do about it and we'd better
strap in for the long haul. As long as a gallon of "biofuel" takes way more energy to to produce than it
replaces, we might as well be Vietnam and all be on bikes.
