Our Gas Prices
Yes, we all know about the outrageous gas prices. We’ve heard countless times about people taking it up the rear when it comes to shelling out to get to work and back.

So, what do we do as individuals? Do we continue to pay $3.00 a gallon (let’s face the truth) until we are so broke we can’t spend money on anything else? Or do we stand up and do something?!

I say we strike.

“Oh, but, David, then we can’t go to work!”
“Oh…but…inconvenience!”

Oh, boo-hoo. I guess it’s not so much of an inconvenience when you can’t afford gas anymore, and then you can’t go to work because your car doesn’t have gas.

Oh wait. Yes it is.

So what’s it gonna take? Are we going to keep buying gas until it reaches $4.00 per gallon? $5.00? When are we going to say enough’s enough? When do we say NO?! I remember back when gas was below $1.00 per gallon. What happened to that?

Here’s my theory:
We have SO much oil under our own country’s soil. Why aren’t we using it? I’ll tell you why. Because our government is secretly planning on using all of the rest of the world’s oil first. That way, when others need oil, they’ll have to come to us. That way, this country will be rich.

So how does that affect us today?
WE’RE PAYING $50 TO $70 TO FILL UP OUR DAMN GAS TANKS!

Our representatives up in Sacramento don’t seem too concerned about our high gas prices. They’re more concerned about getting SOLAR POWER for the AV Fairgrounds…and preventing FETAL PAIN.

So? What do we do? It’s only a matter of time before we’re paying $3.50 a gallon. What. Do. We. Do.
