On the subject of raped at the pump, and oil in general
Edited on Fri Jun-04-10 12:14 PM by Confusious
We keep complaining about gas prices, this spill, etc.

We did this to ourselves. Can you rape yourself? Is there a word for that?

I should also add. I like my car, but I wish I didn't have to use it. I've changed the engine and transmission. I know how much energy I put into it, and it's too much. Multiply it by every car out there and it's a waste.

Just think if we put all the money we spent on oil and cars into science and renewalables.

4. You looked

OP... Succeeds!

We complain about gas prices, the damage done by oil spills. Every time we buy one of those big cars, drive our cars, complain about traffic which gets more roads built, elect politicians who build more roads:

We do it to ourselves.

Tell the politicians to build fewer roads. Tell them to invest more in public transit. If you don't like the bus or anything else, find something new to tell your friends about. My friends know how how I feel about this stuff, and I think the more I complain, maybe someday they will listen, and see the light.

You should probably change your headline.

10. Well, that's all one can ask for

Not everyone is going to see. You know, lack of intelligence, lack of caring, lack of attention span, etc. are all going to take a toll.

Trying to get everyone to see is like trying to control other people. Waste of time and you drive yourself crazy.
