On the contrary. I don't have to pay for gasoline. So it's not
taking as big of a chunk from me as it is most.
YOU are the ones that all the sudden started screaming and demanding
that someone, other than yourselves of course, **** you a fast
inexpensive alternative to gas right goddamn now.
Same ****ing way you all pissed about a cure for AIDS. Government
didn't **** you a remedy the instant anyone isolated it and you all
*****ed and moaned and claimed some kind of dumbassed anti gay
conspiracy. Of course once a democrat was in the whitehouse those
cries got really silent. Now you do the same thing regarding gasoline.
Except this time you want only remedies that suit your agendas and
demand that everyone else just do without in the meantime.
And as stated in another post. Democrats have done exactly jack ****
in regards to energy even when they had the whitehouse, senate and
house. Not to mention liberals are no more conservation minded when
it comes to fuel than anyone else. I live in a city full of wealthy
democrat voting libs and there are a ****load of those evil SUVs in
their driveways.
Ya'll have been railing for higher gasoline prices well now you have
them.
You want all of the oil in the US to be kept safely in the ground
forever and you damn near have that.
You want a green only alternative to gasoline, well that takes time.
Roughly 22 years according to your "experts".
So have it your way and make it green or nothing and shut the **** up
about the resulting economy and hard****ps placed upon most of the
general public. Plain and simple. It's what you want isn't it?
'A government big enough to give you everything you want, is
big enough to take away everything you have.'
