When cost of fuel is not an issue, almost no one buys the rubber band powered skateboards that the Ecofascists would like to compel us to drive.

Expensive fuel means that only the wealthy have free choice in what they drive.

That's why as God is my witness, as God is my witness they're not going to lick me. I'm going to live through this and when it's all over, I'll never be hungry again. No, nor any of my folk. If I have to lie, steal, cheat or kill. As God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again.

The hungry (poor) have no choices.

Sad thing is - there's really nothing to do about either group. Look, for instance, at people who insist on driving Hummers. They know they are looked upon with disdain. It isn't the usual, "look what I can afford and you can't"-type of arrogance. It's more...."I need to exhibit over-the-top butch-ness and fuck what it means to anything or anyone else."

How do you begin to deal with that kind of half-wittedness?

But yeah, every day that goes by with gas under $5 a gallon is a crime against humanity. If we had a clue it would be taxed to there.

I don't have a car or a boat or a plane. Please kill your (inanely self-righteous) self so I can use the savings in your lifetime oil consumption to own one of the three for a short while and get out of my apartment...
