More Gas

I've now seen gas prices locally under $2.30 a gallon. It's about time Dubya stopped running the country and, instead, intervened to lower gas prices. We all know (or at least act like it) that the President's number one priority should be how much I pay for a gallon of gas.

On a similar topic, SEPTA is on strike in Philadelphia. This makes me laugh. Certain groups want us to use mass transit and abandon our cars without giving any consideration to the human factor involved. Some things only have to fail once to be scrapped. Other things don't. Sure, I think mass transit is a good alternative to owning and driving a car, especially if you live in a big city. But, what's the fallback when this fails - the automobile! This follows a basic theme - whom do you depend on to get you somewhere, a unionized agency that gets government (oops, our tax) money to balance a budget shortfall or do you depend on yourself?
