Gas Prices
This article is only intended for honest, unselfish Americans and others. Wow, thats limiting!!! As if I could afford diminished readership! Well actually you cant diminish ZERO, can you?
In any event Americans must stop crying about gas prices. Sure thats the real reason we went to war, getting cheap oil, and sure it isnt working very well, but still, wake up and look around. Contrary to what you think, the world is NOT your oyster! You are not alone on this planet, nor are you superior to others! And OTHERS are paying WAAAAY more than the U.S. and driving motorized baby food jars with wheels to boot. I mean those European contraptions they call cars are worse than solitary confinement. I now know how sardines feel.

Lets not forget Canada, our gas is now approx. $1.04 to $1.09 per litre, making it approx $4 per gallon. I remember back in 1999 in Ocala FL when I could, for a little while, anyway, get PREMIUM gas for 98 cents per gallon. I know, a lot has changed since then.
PS.... RC, Nice page!
