Do you realize that every day the U.S. accounts for about 25% of the world's gasoline consumption yet we continue to enjoy some of the lowest gas prices in the world? What's wrong with this picture? Shouldn't those countries consuming less pay less? Why not?

If U.S. government and big business would focus on the big picture rather than their short-term and short sighted selfish capitalistic idealogies they would realize that the only thing that will slow down this mass consumption by the U.S. is to raise the price at the pump.

Crazy you say. Can you think of any other way that will FORCE it's population to change their way of thinking. It's time the U.S. people got over it's ME. ME. ME. attitude and started thinking about their own future generations and what kind of mentality they are being instilled with.

There must be drastic changes in the way Americans live and more specifically in their modes of transpotation. Most people cannot even comprehend the long term affects of depletion of the ozone layer or the melting of the polar icecaps. Bottom line is that if something does not have any immediate effect on the average Joe he will not change the way he does anything.

So the one's that can do something about it have chosen the side of profit over the good of all and the irony is that they are really the only ones that can correct or alter the way we think or act. When will the U.S. realize that the ideals that made this country the great nation that it is today are no longer the ideals that we follow.

As we all know the people with the power in the U.S. are the ones that will have to take the lead in creating the new ideology this country needs. I just hope we can find and elect those leaders that have the vision, ability and most of all the balls to do something to help someone other than themselves.

P.S. If you don't understand how rasing gas to $5.00 a gallon will have the most positive affect on the U.S. then re-read Economics 101 for a refresher course in supply and demand.
