How Not To Make Your Point

I am baffled by the lack of intelligence in people! Or maybe its just their unwillingness to think things through. I hope i don't offend any one close to me, because this seems to be a very popular way to tell the oil companies to F-OFF! As if they are actually the bad guy! I get emails forwarded to me by people who got it forwarded to them about how to lower gas prices. I used to get this email once a week! The idea is to get as many people in the city, or the country as possible to not purchase gasoline on a predetermined date. I don't know if anyone sees the holes is this idea, but they are as freakin big as the hole in the ozone layer!! If you are going to drive on that day like you normally do, then your just making a fool out of yourself! According to a message sent out to myspace users, if all 72 million members of myspace didn't buy gas for one day, the oil companies would loose 2.1 billion dollars in that day according to a $3 a gallon for gas. Who came up with that one? What a retard! To begin with, the oil companies don't make even close to $3 a gallon if that's what its being sold for! That $3 includes taxes, and mark up buy the gas station. Also it costs the oil company money to make the one gallon. So maybe they are only making $1.50 per gallon! Besides all of that, all you dopes out there are just going to buy your gas the day before, or the day after! So the same exact amount of gas will be purchased during those 3 days, as it would have been if no one had come up with this dumb idea!

Here's an idea! Instead of not buying gas on a certain day, don't use gas on that day! If those 72 million myspace users don't drive their car on a day that they normally would, and instead ride their bike or something, can you imagine what would happen? Well probably nothing, but it is still interesting to think about! Even if that is 2 gallons saved per person, that is only 144 million gallons saved in one day when the country goes through more than 400 million per day! That is only one tenth of a percent loss in a months worth of sales! That is a very small hiccup in the long run. Nothing would happen. Now if we did this once a week, that would be different, but still i think the effect would be minor.

So if these gimmicks don't work, what do we do? WE FREAKIN DRILL!! Drill though a environmentalist's, or Polar Bear's head if you have to! There will not be a technology that will fix this soon enough, so drilling is the solution! Sure it will take a number of years after the drilling starts before the pressure is relieved, and it cannot be a permanent solution, but that's a lot less time than waiting for ethanol to never happen, or for fuel cells to make it past Orange County.

I really don't care about how much gas is costing me, i do care however where my money is going! We are basicly supporting the enemies we are fighting in this war! I actually hope the gas prices continue to go up and up and up! Eventually something has got to give! Some one will take action and do something to domesticate ourselves! Obviously the prices are not high enough for the government to be concerned about doing something about it, despite the fact that we are yelling at them. I guess this really isn't a representative state! Who knew!!

So this fall, don't vote on who you think will represent your voice the best, because we know darn well they wont listen. Vote on who's personal agenda matches yours the closest because that what getting into office is all about now!
