I think the bill sucks, and I just want to be able to afford to go to the library. I don't care if I drive a clunker with the muffler dragging as long as it is safe and dependable. I am so oblivous to the appeal of cars and trucks listening to my Learn a Language in Your Car CD's that I won't even notice if someone blows past me, as long as they don't hit me and make the CD skip.

Gettin to the library though - that is costin me 5.00 a trip now. Think I don't notice THAT? Now I would drive a little pinto if I had one, or a metrocar, but with the soccer-mom, baby on board mentality that ***I*** have, I'm scared one of the rabid HUMMERS around here will run me and the offspring right over. I've nearly been a victim of the same yellow one twice in my truck as it is.

No, I say screw the 'demand is up so the cost is up explanation' that I am forcefed by Fox News. I say "Elect an oil man president and see what we get. GO ahead, elect another one, damnit."

This kinda corporate pork and I can't afford to go to the freakin library is exactly what you get.

We need mass transit, and better technology NOW.
