OT - Gas to hit 4.00

[Jon Gale]

> Does our government not realize this is killing the average American?


Killing as in death? I think not. It's painful to say the least (my last 
fillup was $60+) but I'm surviving as I suspect most of you are. I think it 
is just forcing people to re-evaluate their priorities. I can keep my 
gas-guzzling Yukon or I can go see 3 crappy movies every month (with 
popcorn). Incidentally I have chosen to sell my Yukon in favor of a sweet 
Hyundai (oxymoron).

Has the president even made a comment about how this is hurting
> families? 


Don't even get me started on the president. 9/11 = Bush's Reichstag (should 
provide some fuel for the flame war)
