You are so right, even as I believe there are minor falsehoods in your statements that point to how spoiled and lazy we've become.

We do have viable options available to $4.50 gas, (not counting oil company subsidies) but don't care to cut into our indulged lifestyles. We also lack the fortitude to force our leaders to equitably share the great wealth that America produces.

And another use of the money that oil companies gouge from us under such lies, is the control they exert over our leaders, and the partial strangulation effect that they and their cronies keep much of our economy in.

But the ads are lovely.
