2. And this campaign is as bad. The poor who can't feed or pay rent will be hurt

hugely. Not me so much. I can still manage, but a LOT of people are going to decide on food or going to minimum wage job to pay for a roof over their head and to dismiss them so is wrong. It is a reality we will have higher prices, but I am not going to be one to dismiss those that will truly suffer.

Keep'em addicted, ignorant of the effects, and keep rolling in the mega-profits. Carter's energy policy started to turn the page and Reagan took us back to the past and we've been going backward, powered by fossils, ever since.

Fossil fuels power the GQP.

OMG we dare not break the 12th Commandment! “Thou shalt not be inconvenienced!”

The 11th Commandment I believe was Reagan’s.

The Eleventh Commandment was a phrase used by President Ronald Reagan during his 1966 campaign for Governor of California. The Commandment reads:

Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican.[1][2]

Btw, that’s the one “commandment” I willfully, deliberately, and eagerly break as often as possible.

16. Look up the price of gas in

Australia, New Zealand and the UK, convert local prices to US dollars per gallon, and you will:

Feel better about the US prices.
and:
Realize why other people don't drive huge gas guzzlers.

Local price in Australia is $2.21 per litre.

4 litres to the US gallon, US $1 = AU $1.37 gives you US $ 6.45 per US gallon.
UK prices are a lot higher, by the way.

What are the prices in the US currently?
