I have no problem with the price of gas. Here in the US it is cheaper than almost anywhere else in the world.

I really believe that Americans are so wealthy that they just waste resources without thinking twice about it - until things start getting "expensive."
Another reason high gas prices might be a blessing in disguise is it might bring us Americans back down to earth a little - I'm not counting on it though.
I don't want to appear anti-American in any way, as I think that this applies to most of the so-called "civilized" world. My son sent me this cutting which I thought was rather good - any comments??!!
