OT - Gas to hit 4.00

[Andy Bradford]

Thus said Kenneth Burgener on Wed, 31 Aug 2005 16:05:58 MDT:

> American's  are terrible  with change.  Always waiting  till everyone 
> else has  changed, before changing your  self, even if the  change is 
> better.                                                               

I  don't  know  if  this  is symptomatic  of  Americans  only.  Our  own
Declaration of Independence said it best:

``...  accordingly all  experience  hath shewn,  that  mankind are  more
disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves
by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.''

Of  course it  was  in reference  to  suffering the  evils  of too  much
government, but the same can be true of all things which require change.

But why do we have 2 liter bottles of water, carbonated drinks, etc...?
