A New Way to Guzzle Gas

This is rediculous. People shouldn't have to resort to stealing just to feel up their cars to get to work.What will the presidential candidates do about this?

Methods of reducing gasoline prices, saving endanger species and environmental protection have a lot to do with American pets. Although such method of saving the endangered species may not be politically correct. Ironically, to saving those endangered species we must destroy and the number of many other the species we currently have in abundance -- our pets. Except those who are acting, guiding the blinds, guarding, termites and police detection, herding, hunting, catching rodents or other benefitial tasks. Pets, especially dogs in excess have contributed to some of our most serious environmental problems. Todays their wastes especially feces are piling up at our landfills even if they flushed into the toilets will create extra burden for water treatment plants. Waste before being disposed of are stinking up our air and atmosphere. Some of those gaseous waste such mathane, CO and CO2 are greenhouse gases. Pet droppings on our roads have created driving harzards and polluting our water sheds. Those dropping will also spread diseases such bird flu or other diseases. Road kills may result in Mad Cow Diseases or making street unpleasant for walking. Pets will bite men sometime resulted in rabby. Regardless of whether there are bites, attack by dogs will create traumas which will require medical or psycological treatment especially to small children. Pets will also create allergy. Again, they will deterred pedestrain from travelling on the road in favor of driving which will cause pollution and consumption of gasoline. Pet hit by cars will result in collison damages requiring more resources to build or repair new cars. Harvesting from natural and domesticated food supplies to feed our pet will creat food shortage for men and wildlife. Again, pollution will be their results. Agricultural supplies for pets will resulting in clearing of wilderness for plantation land. Pet at home usually require more space and more resouces to build bigger house. Wandering cat and dogs will kill wildlife such as those mention in your article.

I will tell you it isn't going to get any better I moved out of the city in Florida to the country in Kentucky and alot of people think I am crazy but, I am buying vacant land pretty cheap out in the middle of nowhere with the plan to become self sufficient we have already planted our first fields I am learning how to can for winter, we are raising our own meat and veggies and planted our own fruit trees I have teenagers and they were not thrilled when we moved but, they are adjusting and the new lifestyle has been great for the whole family . The Garden is alot of hard work but it is good quality time spent together as a family. so yes the economy is getting worse for everyone but way out here it doesn't have as bad as an impact on us.

You can't blame this on Bush/Cheney, actually we have none other than the champions of the less fortunate than the Democratic congress. They have tied the hands of oil in a way that they can no longer drill anywhere here in the US. Both the Atlantic and Pacific Continental shelves are off limits to drilling. Public land that holds enough oil that we could be free of foreign oil long after our children's children's children's are long dead and gone. There is over 800 trillion barrels of oil and the democrats and all of the tree hugging bleeding heart liberals have seen to it that you the American public will pay higher and higher gas prices, just so that some obscure bug is not displaced from his home.

When will you people start getting the picture and decide to take back your country from those that have stolen and sold it to others? Freedom costs, complacency requires no action.

Yes India and China are emerging markets that are sucking up resources left and right. yes we Americans waste too much energy hands down. Jimmy Carter gave tax encentives to people who put solar panels on roofs and he raised the MPG ration standard for the auto industry. Ronald Reagan came in with all his oil company staff and removed the soloar panels from the white house, cancelled the tax credit and then spent a bunch of money from social security to keep the bombs flowing during the cold war. Our current war is being fought over oil in Iraq. If you think it is about terroism then you are seriously in need of an education beyond fith grade. Almost the entire cabinet of George W Bush is from oil companies including GWB himself, Cheney, and even Condolezza Rice. We could have spent that war money on funding alternative fuel sources and been world leaders in that filed of study which would bring about jobs and economy growth in our country. Instead we get rebate checks to go buy made in China products at Walmart. People are getting desperate. What do you think people are going to do when oil goes to $200 a barrel? And yes it is going to go that high. We have used up 50% of all the know oil supply in the world in the last 50 years. At the current rate of consumption we will burn through the remaining 50% in less than 25 years. Do what you can to save the planet today people, for yourself and for your children and grandchildren.

I WONDER WHAT MY FELLOW COUNTRYMAN WILL DO IF FOOD BECOMES RATIONED --AS WE HAD DURING WW11--I STILL HAVE MY GRANDMA'S RATION BOOKS--WITH STAMPS--WE DID NOT STEAL FROM EACH OTHER--

you people are idiots...You're government didn't increase the consumption of gas. YOU DID!
India...China...and all the cheap gas the US consumed over the years is now coming back to haunt you. What makes America weak is not the lack of government but the failure of its people to take responsibility for their own actions. just like in the housing crisis...bought a house I can't afford...boo hoo...the government will help me...

what? did you (selahbrook) just read the same article? Me thinks the only IDIOT round here is you. You probably own an SUV too huh?

3 years ago, a guy from the east coast was stealing gas in Alabama by parking a trailer over a truckstop's filler plug and pumping fuel directly out of the underground storage tank and into a portable tank. The fumes in the trailer exploded. He survived and spent a long time in a Birmingham burn unit. It was the "feel good story" of the year.
