Reply #24: You got it! They ARE to blame! if they hadn't sat up there in DC

twiddling their thumbs and putting off doing something so they didn't look "nutty" to their constituents we would have a whole lot more hybrid cars and maybe even something completely petroleum independent by now!

I live in the damn burbs and I can tell you I fought like a dog when they started trying to build grocery stores and shopping malls out here. I finally realized several years ago that I was going to need them in the future and quit fighting it. I have no clue what we're all going to do for jobs though. They damn well better get moving on the mass transit we just passed.

I worry about all the Northeastern residents of this country. They use oil to heat their homes. What are they going to do for heat?

BTW, you should see how many people finally got the message and are trying to sell their homes in the burbs. Nothing is moving out here. Especially the extravagant homes that people have been building. I wonder what the housing market is like in the major cities?
