The next act of Terrorism - gas prices

Did you know....

gas is already over $4.00 a gallon in San Mateo, CA. We are at a point where people can't afford to commute to their jobs and by next summer we should all be over $4.00 a gallon.

Has anyone stopped to think what would happen to America if the Middle East stopped selling us oil. Think about it.

America would come to a stand still without gas, including the hybrids. Food would not make it to the stores. We would not make it to work. Emergency and law enforcement vehicles would never make it to their destination. The business world would crash harder than the great depression. Mass hysteria would kick in. Crime would skyrocket and who knows what other things would happen.

I know what some of you are saying. What about the oil in Alaska? Yes, there is oil Alaska, but no where near the amount that's coming out of the Middle East. I guarantee that the oil in Alaska would run out soon enough.

It's amazing that President Bush has never addressed the gas issue to the American public.
It's amazing that we have not tapped into Alaska to at least ease the cost of gas.
It's amazing that when the price of oil drops, we don't see the affects for two weeks, but when the price goes up we feel it immediately. We definitely are at the mercy of the Middle East right now and if they wanted to slowly cripple our country, it would be through rising gas prices.

Do I think that will happen? Probably not, but I also didn't think that terrorists would take our own planes and drive them into the Twin Towers.

Why are we not doing anything about the gas situation. I watch people at the pump and they don't seem to look bothered. The adults are still buying the gas gussling SUVs and the kids are still street racing more than ever. I do not want to see $4.00 a gallon and if we do, I have a feeling it never going to stop.

What do you think we should be doing right now to stop this situation from getting worse?
