I hope gas prices hit 6 dollars a gallon. Burn SUVs, Burn :)

There's nothing wrong with fresh veggies. Tell me, how are you going to force this dietary change on those poor obese people here in the Land of the Free?

How can it cost you $50 to fill up a Yaris? The gas tank probably only takes less than 10 gallons.

I use neo-con for the current class of popular republican.

A true republican believes on lowering taxes, spending less, and having more liberties less goverment.

Although bush is great for guns, he's definitely not fiscally conservative. I won't even get into the liberties issue, as you can now be considered a terrorist if you are deem a threat to the stability of the government. Which means you can be detained indefinitely with no trial.

Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety Benjamin Franklin

I can't force them to do anything. But, ideally they would get the message and plant a garden or join a food coop. We have an organic food coop here where you can buy produce for pretty reasonable prices. Maybe we have an advantage because California grows a lot of produce - and we get a lot from Mexico.

I disagree. Some people may be able to find alternative modes of transportation, but for the vast majority we have to just suck it up and pay whatever the price is at the pump.

Save your quotes for your signature.

What happened to the "liberty" of the soccer moms who want to drive SUVs?

All of a sudden it's not liberty if you don't agree with it?

Actually if you'll do a little research you'll find that Bush hasn't really done jack for the gun owning community either.
