but an awesome picture representing the problems the US has with oil/gas prices. (something I do remember) Are we headed towards governmental price control and rationing again....

Very true. If we all drive less, then the oil companies lose money.

The Heritage Foundation? Really? That is either bait or intentionally too easy, or both. By the way, I get their propaganda in the mail. I signed up to get their literature and their surveys to see what they really were all about. It's one of those cases where the myth tends to be true. You know, I always wonder what they do when some intern gets my survey in their mail pile and has to process it.

uh.... sure... I guess attacking the source vs, the actual story is pretty cool. So the article says it's not likely that we'll see the same sort of rationing of gas today that we saw in 1973 (the issue of the picture)- which is backing up YOUR idea that it's not a correct analogy (only just supporting MY idea that today and 1973 have enough in common that you can make a connection between the two fairly easily and find articles about it on-line:i.e. a picture showing gas rationing in the 70's can be relevant to a thread about crazy gas prices in 2011 IMO) But you attack the article based on where it originally came from because you subscribe to their newsletter and send them odd surveys... now that's awesome!
The idea that running out of oil v. dwindling supplies and alternative energy is an easy one. It was outrageous in 1975 and people were willing to boycott. Today we just jump in queue for four dollar gas because we've been subsidizing it and are now accustom to paying for 4 dollar gasoline and accepting it as a part of reality. That is the difference between then and now. What's worse? We break our necks to get to a job where we're paid an unlivable minimum wage. Last edited by Joseph; 04-18-2011 at 03:22 AM.. |
