Gas prices

Americans are screaming about gas prices. For years they had some of the world's lowest prices.

What did they do? 

They bought big cars, big trucks, SUVs.

They gave nary a thought to climate problems and/or pollution. No awareness that prices go up and down.

I'll admit I have little sympathy. Since the canicule (heat wave) in France that left over 10,000 dead, I am tempted to key "murderer" on every gas guzzler I see. I resist.

Signe Wilkinson's cartoon says it as well as I can. Bless the person driving the little car. Bless those with hybrids and electric cars.
