Ναι άτομο! Τιμές αερίου, υψηλότερος, υψηλότερος, υψηλότερες.

Είμαι lovin» αυτό!

Όσο υψηλότερος ο καλύτερος!

Τι αυτό θα κάνει είναι αιτία περισσότεροι Αμερικανοί για να παψει κολλώδη γουρούνια μαζικής κατανάλωσης, και θα βοηθήσει τελικά να σώσει το βόρειο πόλο από την τήξη.

Με επιτρέψτε να εξηγήσω. Ξέρω το σύνολο καλά που αυτό θα οδηγήσει στο μαρκάρισμά μου ως αριστερός προδότης από τη δεξιά μάζα που καταναλώνει τα ρατσιστικά καρύδια (Είμαι πραγματικά προηγούμενος ενός συντηρητικός ποιος άφησε το δημοκρατικό κόμμα λόγω να βρεθεί τους και της εξαπάτησης και της έλλειψης ηθικής).

Δύναμη με δοκιμάζετε επίσης και καλείτε «negativist» ποιος απολαμβάνει την κακοτυχία άλλοι. Αφ' ενός αντιμετωπίζομαι ως «θετικιστή,» ένα πρόσωπο που μπορεί να δει τις μεγάλες δυνατότητες των υποτιθέμενων τρομερών καταστάσεων.

OH, ξέχασα σχεδόν. Οι τιμές αερίου μπορούν επίσης να βοηθήσουν Αμερικανούς για να πάρουν τη χαμένη ψυχή της χώρας τους, μια χώρα που εξελίσσεται στην πλεονεξία, του αισθήματος ανώτερες από άλλες λιγότερο άφθονες χώρες λόγω των υλικών κατοχών μας, και τη συχνή αγορά «πραγμάτων μας.»

Let’s say you’re a typical greedy fat upper middle class guy who buys a new car every year because you discard the old car like a toy you’ve suddenly grown tired of, and you currently drive a huge, gas guzzling four-wheel-drive Hummer, a vehicle as big as the German tank that invaded Poland in World War Two. You smoke cigarettes and discard the butts. You carelessly toss trash at the beach and eat rich calorie-laden junk food like a hog at a trough. You have a three-story house that burns more energy than the entire consumption of Nigeria (that’s a country in Africa for those of you right wingers who are mad at this piece).

You’re a gas guzzling hog.

Rising prices huh? You can’t afford to be a pig anymore like two years ago. You have to actually put yourself on a budget. To conserve. The C word. Not the C word. Not that! Oh the pain of it.

You drive less, which causes less freeway congestion and less greenhouse emission melting the Polar Icecap (our natural air conditioning down here). You’re forced to cancel that automatic yearly Hawaiian vacation which in turn puts less pollution pressure there.

The irony here is, and it’s a supreme irony, is you’re forced into becoming a conservationist kicking and screaming even though you don’t like it by the very same people who made you an oil addict in the first place…..the oil companies and their secret cartels and their Saudi Arabian robber barons and their Washington lobbyists.

You’re forced to cut back on your lavish lifestyle you hog. To you, more is always better. The things you purchase make you feel worthy, temporarily, until you have to buy more things, and the money. There’s never enough, even though you have more than you need.

Right now, there’s a Chinaman who used to ride a bike in Beijing, but who now drives a car. He also wants to be a glutinous hog like you.

In fairness, I drive a car, though I’ve always left personally a very small ecologic footprint. I seldom buy anything. You might describe my lifestyle as that of an “esthete,” or “Spartan,” or “Ghandiesk.” For those of you right wing haters who never read a book, Mahatmas Gandhi was an Indian leader who stressed morality and restraint.

All I can say to those to whom any form of idealism and not just thinking only of themselves is real hell……welcome to my world.

Some people will lose their jobs because of oil prices, but they were probably jobs centered around addiction to oil which was wrong in the first place. Jobs can be retooled to meet the new demand for conservation and ecologically friendly living.

Rising oil prices will force Americans to seek alternative travel, mass transit, fuel efficient and hybrid and eventually electric cars, which will improve air quality and slow global warming. It will also teach you, the glutinous hog, that the world isn’t your private oyster to be abused any way you see fit. That every little you thing you do has an impact. Ultimately, it will also force you to become more humane, more aware of others who are less fortunate.

Being forced to walk a little more may help stall that heart attack you the hog are now working towards.

Rising oil prices will also help end the economic-political strangle hold the Saudis and others have over us because we won’t need their oil. It will end their outsourced power and put them in their proper place among the community of nations.

I’m lovin’ it!

I hope gas goes up to $10 a gallon.

Like we used to yell at the football game, “hit ‘em again, hit ‘em again..harder…harder!”
