Why do people cry about gas yet don't even flinch when forking over $6 bucks for a latte a Starbucks?
Quite a jump in logic there, thinking that all drivers who are concerned about the price of gas are also Starbucks-slurping drivers. Thankfully, I live 2 hours from the nearest Starbucks, and would have to be dying of thirst before I paid $6 for a glorified coffee. And yet... still concerned about the price of gas.
If the gas is cheap and it wont make a knocking sound in my car, then I don’t car about any “terrorist” connection. It’s too remote to worry about. The US government seems to do just fine with associating themselves with “terrorists” or dictators when it benefits them so why should I worry about where my gas comes from.
Yeah, i think it's a moot point sometimes. (the glass must be half-empty this morning...)
A weird analogy: Did anyone ever happen to catch 'Gangland' on the History Channel? (especially last night?..)It reminds me of our government, like a gang starting out protecting its neighbor and the neighborhood having a code among themselves only to fall to its insatiable greed and with no honor whatsoever.
The point is, for the U.S. government, there's too much money to be made with gas/oil to care where it comes from.
I buy Citgo gas and 7-Eleven coffee to support Venezuela and Chavez and the coffee is way better than Charbucks or Dunkin.
But then I am an anti-plutocrat, anti-American empire, anti-war and pro government schools, health care, small local business, etc socialist. And I am proud of what I am.
