Gas Guzzling Tirade

From Will Lester of AP

‘WASHINGTON More people are feeling record-high gas prices soon will have their wallets running on empty.Almost two-thirds of those surveyed for an AP-AOL poll expect fuel costs will cause them financial hardship in coming months. That’s sharply higher than in April, when about half felt that way.

“I filled up last Monday and it cost me $53,” said Gary Spaulding of Fulton, N.Y., referring to his Ford Explorer. “One of the cars, we’re going to get rid of. We can’t afford both of them.”’

Suffer baby suffer. Everyone driving a big car that isn’t as fuel efficient as they possibly can afford is killing the planet and is contributing to the deaths of those in Iraq on both sides. Let ‘em go bankrupt.

Yes I am angry. Yes I am not nice about this. People with gas guzzling cars are being irresponsible to their planet and to every living thing on this planet. Sadly, this includes some of my friends who I still love, but I still think of anyone with an SUV or a fuel inefficient automobile as aiding and abetting death. If each of us does not take responsibility for what we do and thus set examples to others, we are doomed as a species. Maybe this is a good thing. Humans have not been good for planet earth. Humans have not been good for other humans.
