Prettyinpinks' Perception

The high price is designed to "force" people to stop using their personal vehicles, and "have to" use public transportation, and conserve energy. I don't see the Al Gores, Nancy Pelosis, Harry Reids, or any of other Liberal eco nutcases giving up their vehicles, "or" their extravagant life styles for the "cause" they feel is killing the planet. The Liberals, and econazis are directly responsible for this mess, and the sheeple who parrot their contrived scientific data are nothing but mindless marionettes.

The Left does not respect the rights of the people to make their own decisions and use this type of coercion to make them do as they want them to. They are out to control every aspect of your personal life and have no problem doing whatever they have to in order to achieve that goal. The biggest problem the American people need to address is that their Government is not forthright, and has no compunction about lying to us. They have been deceiving us for decades, and sadly, we accept it without question.
Truly we no longer have the right to call ourselves "free".

If people like Obamma get their way we will all be riding bikes to the government factories in our Mao jackets .This is the end of America as we know it .You will work to keep the socialist machine going .I think i heard Obamma say he was going to eliminate nuclear weapons .He is either niave or a moron .

When I was in Guatemala earlier this summer, their gasoline was about $5.00 per gallon. But I didn't hear a single person complain about the price because almost none of the people we met owned a car.

Most of the cars we did see were small city cars like the Toyota Yaris. There were also small SUV's like the Toyota Rav4, and small pickup trucks. I saw a Ford F150 pickup once, and a Chevy Avalanche once. Public transportation consisted of what we'd call school buses but more brightly painted, and often belching a cloud of black smoke from the diesel engine.

I cannot see how drilling for oil off the north shore of Alaska can be anything but bad for polar bears. If we do drill there, we will have more oil to refine into gasoline, but I don't see the price of gas going down at all. It will always be far, far more expensive to drill and operate an oil well in northern Alaska at 50 degrees below zero, than it is in Kuwait where it is sunny and warm all year long.
