Higher gas prices are NOT in our long term interest unless you believe that Americans are so naieve that they would not change to better environmental habits unless squeezed at the pump. That has the same stupid logic in it that says we have to endure an epidemic of smallpox before people will volunteer to be innoculated. The only ones who want to increase gas taxes are those who enjoy managing people through their pocketbooks instead of leading people through their minds....I will let you decide which is a better and more permanent way for a people and government to work together.]]> Sun, 07 Dec 2008 11:27:19 -0500 Typical contemporary wisdom from those who have completely lost contact with reality.
