americas favorite whine

Gas prices are too high. Will the public do anything but whine ? Of course not. They will keep electing officials who pander to the warm and fuzzy and ignore reality. They will not accept hard choices like building refineries, exploring in a small part of wilderness areas or off shore. They will embrace a snake oil solution like ethanol from corn. What can you expect from a population that pays more attention to Paris Hilton than Paris, France. That ignores the fact that 95% of the world's petroleum is controlled by governments that have interests inimical to ours and that China is courting these governments. Good grief, the no personal thinking or responsibilty rubens just keep loking for someone other than themselves to blame. Whine, whine ,whine
