This completely shows the attitude of Americans of this subject.

Not some worthless trinket of a protest, I mean some real action.
We are at a critical point and look at the shit we do to just waste shit.
Racing, just to name one. How stupid is our protest,when the commercials about new forms of energy, hybrid cars, and such are during a fucking NASCAR race. Wasting gas for amusement! I mean come on.
We need to change our attitude, or they will always have us by the balls.
Too many people just don't give a fuck, and will never give up their 7 passenger Escalades, and Tahoes because it looks cool.

We have and will always depend on oil from other countries. The truth is we need oil to run our country. Not only cars, but the trucks that supply us with everything from condoms to pink fuzzy slippers. I'm pretty sure that an 18 wheeler uses more gas in one week than my car uses in one year. (I'm rarely leave the house and it's rare that I fill up more than once every other month.)
Oddly enough, I just drove a Ford Escape Hybrid for the first time this past weekend. Very nice. I mean, it was a four banger to begin with but the power was decent and the motor never went on once. I drove all the way to store and back. It's silent and very odd; It was like I was in Stealth Mode or something. The batteries are good for 80k miles or so, and the Hybrid costs only $3k more than the non Hybrid version.
