Call me crazy, but I think I can accept the higher gas prices if...

...if it means our troops will come home. We all know this is about oil anyway.

Not that it would ever happen. I can't help but dream about them being home.

1. I'll go with you a little bit on that.

Kinda goes with my bumper sticker--I'd give up my tax break for the life of one soldier.

However; when it gets to 5 a gallon I'm gonna have a fit.

2. I don't mind the higher prices if it starves the SUVs

Meanwhile, my Prius and I will just do our best to get along.

3. Nice car!

And I bet you're loving the 50+ mpg you're getting.

I usually wind up having to get gas just after prices go up. I have terrible luck in that area. This time, however, I filled up right before the price hike and despite a week's worth of 40 mile commutes each day, I still have half a tank of gas!

The strangest thing I saw the day the prices skyrocketed was two Hummers, both with one person in them.

5. Not Me...

i was watching the news last night and a woman said that we've had it lucky for so long in this country compared to europe and that it doesn't really bother her to pay higher prices...

the thing is, those higher prices in europe are due to govt taxes used for economic and social programs designed to help folks, right? the higher prices HERE in the u.s. are due to profiteering corporate scum bilking working folk so their limos can be a little longer and they can get an extra helping of caviar while the rest of us curtail travelling, cancel our cable tv, eat hamburger helper 3 days a week instead of once a week, etc.

get real folks.
