Blog of a discontent conforming noncomformist

It seems to me that we, as a nation, seem to like giving money to the very people who hate us and would like to do nothing but see us wiped of the face of the earth. We speed on the highway like there is no tomorrow, even though we know that higher speeds use more gasoline. We buy vehicles that are bigger then we really need, even though there are smaller, more fuel efficient cars and trucks that will meet our needs perfectly well.

The car manufacturers know this. They push upon us the misconception that we need that truck that only gets 12 mpg. They know they can make cars and trucks that get better gas mileage without sacrificing the high performance that we have come to like so much.

And where is all that money for gasoline going? It goes to the very same people that hate our way of life and wish to destroy us. Now, we do have our own oil reserves. But we seem to have this mentality that we don't want to have these huge oil derricks in our back yards. The oil has to come from somewhere. And it comes from the Middle East.

This happens to be the very same region of the world where hatred of the west in general, and the U.S in particular, has take root. Yes, our money goes into the same pockets that funnel that same money to the same terrorist groups that plot our destruction. Does this really sense? I DON'T THINK SO!!!!!!!!

If you really want to fight terrorism, just do your part. If you can, buy cars that can get that high gas mileage. Whenever you can, walk where you have to go or ride a bicycle. Modify your driving habits so that you don't use so much gas. Remind the automakers where their great fortunes come. Big business relies on the pockets of the public.
