Maybe I'm crazy, but isn't the "oh well, what can you do" attitude what got us here in the first place? I mean standing by and just LETTING things happen typically leads to rather unfavorable results. I understand that they (the powers that be) appear to have us stuck between a rock and hard place, but what everyone doesn't seem to realize is that there is power in numbers. Significant numbers have significant power. I'm not saying to quit buying gas for a day, or a week or whatever. It's been hashed out too many times and it simply will not work. I mean, if everyone decided gas was too expensive, and they just quit driving altogether, then they couldn't work. If their employers had no workers, they couldn't operate,and would be forced to close. In short, the power to bring the entire economy to it's knees lies not in the hands of the few, but in all of our hands. The masses of people hold more power than they realize, or care to even consider evidently. I'll not go in depth here. But please, think about it on a grand scale, no cars or trucks driving, no workers working, no cash flowing, no government governing. I'm not advocating anarchy....I'm trying to open peoples eyes to possibilities.
Let the flaming commence!
