The World As I See It

Gudging at the pump

What is this when we have plenty of oil and still gas prices are soaring? I recently received and email from a friend from a different county, who keeps a tab on American news for me, and he said that the middle east just sent us millions of cash and oil to help with Katrina relief! Were is it? Not here in the states. This pisses me off. I am not sure whether it is the government or the robber barrons, or both, sticking it to us but we have become a lazy nation America! We ignor what is going on and get screw in the process. I too would love a country where I could trust everything is alright and never have to worry about what our government is doing. But we are overlooking key player in the government that have been screwing us for years. We sit and complain we don't like the way things are handled but won't put people in that can handle the job. In the 50's we were worried about communist, well wake up they are in office now! Personal freedoms are down and government control is up. But that is a rant for another day. Back to the pumps.

I thought it was bad when gas prices were $1.899/gallon now seeing hit $2.999/gallon for the lowest octane! I am sorry I said anything. Right now we are not in a shortage people, but all our jobs are at stake. The way most cities and our lives are set up we commute to work. Whether it be a 15 minute drive or 2 hour drive. Either way out wages are not hiugh enough to cover the cost of going to work. I am proud that so many have written out president asking for him to look into this. If America can't go to work then America stops running. So letter-writers KEEP WRITING! Until we see that the prices go down then we have to do something. Start a car pooling effort. The physically fit need to start walking, riding a bike, take a bus, or buy a low fuel expending form of transportation. Heck, I am ready to break out my rollerskates and go to work. We need to send a message to the big companies that they cannot do this to us. They need us as much as we need them. Stop letting them bully us or we will be their slaves.
