Gasoline: Why America has to stop this monster.
I just read a CNN article with collective bitching about high gas prices in the USA. People calling for action from the USA to get gas prices low again. They are wanting it to go back to $2.60 a gallon. Before you read this, know that people in Europe pay up to $8/gallon for petrol (aka gas). Canada is paying over $4.50/gallon for gas on average. Our government has managed to keep the cost of oil low at the cost of a war over it. The American people want the war to be over and the cost of gas to be low. Well, wake up america, you can’t have both. STOP CALLING FOR ACTION TO LOWER GAS PRICES! IT LEADS TO WAR!
We’ve let it get this way. We’ve empowered a president who has been a pawn of the oil lobbyists. He has taken us to war over something that isn’t completely necessary. We have ways around using gasoline and oil. The technologies are there but the oil companies are out there spreading filth about these technologies so the american people have no faith in them. Well Great Britian pays double what we do for gas. How do they do with it? More practical cars, more mass transportation and less greed. We as americans are STUPID! Sorry i hate to break it to you but you can’t expect the USA to break the world wide trend of gas costs. We aren’t immune, so when you bought that SUV or bought that Cement Mixer of a truck, you should have been aware of what was likely to occur. Its occured.
Action? Stop demanding action in the form of lower gas costs! Seriously, you are asking the wrong questions. You are asking ‘Why are gas prices so high?’ and ‘What can we do to lower them?’. Well we could essentially steal from the middle east like we’ve been doing. But if you want lower gas prices, you will have more war. If the war ends, the gas prices go up. We let the middle east barons grab us by the balls as a country. If we got embargoed (if that’s a word) by the middle east, we’d be at war with all of them in a second.
The question we should be asking is ‘what else can we do?’ I’m by no means a tree hugger or a green individual but jesus christ, you people can’t complain about gas costs, period. You can’t! We did this to ourselves. We wanted to be greedy american pigs and not pay for it. Well it doesn’t work that way.
Being an american doesn’t make you superior, as a fact of fact from the way i hear alot of americans talking recently, it makes you stupider than the rest of the world. We are living in our happy little bubble. Well the bubble is busting people. We need another solution for gas now.
As much as i hate to say it, if Al Gore was president right now. We prolly wouldn’t be at war and we probably wouldn’t be the gas baron’s bitches. This is just a rant by me because i hate seeing these articles where americans complain about high gas prices. Well wake the fuck up people they aren’t getting any lower… so its time for a real solution and for us to put billions (did i say billions, i meant trillions) of dollars into that instead of a war. Its an overall better solution.
