Why aren't people doing more besides whining about high gas prices?

It is hurting everyone. The ripple affect hits all facets of our existence. Where is the outrage and resistance? Where are the boycotts? Are we that complacent?

[twincrier]

Yes, we are that lazy. Or we just aren't as poor as we tell the rest of the world we are... How much have you spent on that computer your tapping out these questions on?

What's your suggestion?

I can neither bicycle nor walk to work, as I have to cross an interstate highway bridge to get there. I have no option but to drive. Perhaps I should ask my government to provide a multi-million-dollar pedestrian/bicycle bridge so I can save a few dollars on gasoline.

Converting my home to solar power would cost me more than fifteen years worth of energy at current prices. If I put the same amount of money to work at 5%, I'd get enough after taxes to pay the energy bills. That would only be a good option if someone else paid for the solar panels for me, do you want to do that for me?

So why don't you do more about the whining than just whine? Let's hear some real solutions.

Personally, I think that "whining" about the federal government's role in causing this problem is the best thing we can do, at least until November. Vote these morons out.
