Sure, it's great if those of us with practically nothing learn to use less. However, I don't thing we should thank the thieves that robbed us for teaching us to be thrifty!

the way i see it, it's the market.

you don't like your grocer? shop elsewhere.

these boils down to people making rational choices in an economic environment.

evidently people had it extremely easy when
SUVs and gas guzzlers sold like macshit burgers. well finally the voltage in the cattle prod increased enough that the cows are moving.

people in europe still are paying lots more than we do. they use smaller cars, more mass transit, and walk more.

you know, maybe this winter we should take a hint from jimmy carter & wear sweaters. maybe more people will use mass transit or telecommute. maybe we should put a bycicle lane on every street.

now, i am not happy that this is going to the very fuckers who want us dead. jet fuel made in pakistan? ha ha ha ha. oh yeah, i can see that being sabotaged, and i can see the money from that going to fund al-qaeda. but this was a clusterfuck of our own making. we kept watching tv while the world went to shit.

i say these are great developments. people need to wake the fuck up from their trans-fat slumber.
