Gas

I used to think that this whole Iraq thing would be worth it, if we could just get gas for a dollar a gallon. But, it's NOT worth it. Lots of dead soldiers, and the oil companies that effectively own this administration profit in an obscene manner.

I hope gas goes to three, four, five bucks a gallon. Not that I can afford it, but maybe when these suburb-dwelling, SUV driving pricks have to give the guy at the bulletproof window 100 bucks every week to fill up their ridiculous Escalade, perhaps then we'll see a change in habit in this deluded country.

In a side note, is there any less than a 100% probability that every guy driving an H2 is packing less than four inches? Yeah, that's what I figured.

Anyway, I'm sick of seeing yuppies hauling their worthless asses around in 4-wheel drive vehicles that they have ZERO intention of ever taking off road. Just get a station wagon, you pansy. You aren't cool, you're just rich. The two things CAN go together, but I assure you, they do not in your case. Get a station wagon, and try reading a book once in awhile. Dumbass.

Here's a true story from my life. I'm driving to work one day recently, and I find myself behind this Lincoln Navigator. So, I'm already irritated, because you can't see over, around or through these fucking things. I scan down to the license plate, and I notice it's one of the specialty types that you can buy. You know, some say "Support Wildlife" or that type of shit. Well, this one is this sort of ghostly image of the twin towers in New York, and the words under it "We will never forget." I guess family members of the victims get a dollar or something.

Suddenly, the irony hits me. I am staring at a vehicle that gets 8 miles to the gallon. The fuel it uses comes from Saudi Arabia, and our indiscriminate use of that fuel has made fat Saudis obscenely wealthy. Those moneyed royals needed highways and other things built, and they hired Saudi companies to build them. One of these companies is owned by the father of Osama bin Laden. His family is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Some of that money was spent recently, as you may recall, to train men how to take over an aircraft, and fly it into a building. These buildings were now memorialized on a license plate to remind us of the tragedy that occurred 9/11/01.

What really made me angry, was the fact that I could try for an hour to explain the sickening irony to the woman driving this stupid truck, and I knew she would never EVER get it.
