What’s funny to me is our revered leader admitting that lifting the ban on offshore drilling would take years to have an effect, but then turns and directly blames Congress for the current price of gas because they refuse to lift it & open the arctic refuge to more drilling.<\/p>\n
So help me figure this out. Is he trying to tell me that if we lift the ban, oil companies around the world will rejoice and praise allah, and tomorrow we’ll wake up and gas will suddenly become cheap again? Is that what he’s suggesting? And that the answer to our sick and self-destructive dependence on a finite resource is to umm, I don’t know… use up even more of it? The white house insists there are no quick fixes to the problem (because the problem is the problem, duh) but Bush\/mccain’s so-called energy plans seem to be nothing but quick fixes. I don’t fucking get it. Tell me 2 + 2 = 4 and I understand. Tell me 2 + 2 = 8 and I have to wonder. Tell me that 2 + 2 = infinity and it’s going to take a lot more than these little white pills to get my acquiescence.<\/p>\n
I just don’t see how we can continue raping every inch of this fucking world so that we can gather our miserable families in the car, drive to some lousy too hot too loud too crowded vacation spot where we can eat and drink our fat selves into oblivion and not think about the horrible things our country has done to give us this “right” of ours. <\/p>\n
And if I hear one more story about how us poor deprived americans will have to spend the 4th of july at, my god, HOME, because gas is just too expensive…well I think I’ll have to start cutting myself again. At this point only the feel of warm thick blood on my fingers and lips can make me feel better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
