The US has been getting a free ride for as long as I can remember.

I remember back around 1966, when I was in grade school, I had a teacher, Mr. Larimer.

I used to annoy the hell out of my parents by constantly coming home with, "Mr Larimer says this." "Mr Larimer says that." My parents always scoffed at the ideas he was putting into our heads.

One of the things Mr Larimer told us was that in England, people were paying $5/gal for gas, and one day, we too would be spending that much.

This was rather shocking to us considering every intersection had three or four gas stations, and they engaged in the practice of "Gas Wars." That was when neighboring gas stations would try to undercut the other guy. I remember getting gas for less than $.20/gal.

I think Mr Larimer was right. If it means all of you have to get mopeds or bikes, that is fine with me.
