Have you ever noticed that in America there are faults that we all share? Well back in the ice storm in December, which was in New England, people panicked more then they had to. If your don't know what this ice storm was, simple enough, ice rained down knocking out power for a large group of people in the New England area.
But the panic was not for the ice but rather because they lost their all so beloved power and could not live with out it, or so it seemed. But we all know we could, we just hate the inconvenience of finding something to do without technology. People were so desperate that someone almost sued one of my friends because a tree in his yard fell onto the power line, taking out the street's power.
People that desperate are what ruins us, in the long run at least. Well if you think about it, if we always act like this eventually our system will fall apart. People ask why the gas prices are on the constant rise, well, we certainly are not short on it, truth is, it is because we couldn't go a day without it, or in my friend's terms, it is an addiction. We complain about it yet it is our own fault; we give them the idea of raising these prices.
So as gas prices rise, be sure to tell yourself, "i am partly the cause of this." Because i am positive that these companies think like me, they will abuse people's addictions if it helps them achieve whatever goal they had. So stop and think a moment next time, it just make our kids happier one day.
By all means, I am not perfect, I too suffer from this addiction along with all of you. Some day I hope to see our transportation like that of some foreign countries, aka, more efficient for us (less traffic jams), our wallets, and the environment (yes i will sometimes talk like a modern day hippie. So what do you say?
Think it over,
