the following are cartoons depicting the constantly rising gas prices. the only thing is.....it isn't funny. we are destined to pay a fiver for a gallon of gas in the very near future unless something drastic is done.
i remember when gas was 29 cents a gallon, and when it went up to 52 cents a gallon, everyone panicked and thought the world was coming to an end. now, we would all be extremely ecstatic if it went back DOWN to 52 cents a gallon. how on earth are we expected to survive in the near future? the news is always doing specials on how we, here in the united states, have enough oil to last another 60 years. now i understand that in the grand scheme of things, 60 years isn't very long, and after that, we might be back in need of some sort of trade agreement with another country. but that would give the powers that be a full 50-60 years to work out some sort of plan so that the future would look much brighter for our great great grandkids. as it is right now, our country is going to come to a grinding halt soon, if something isn't done, and DONE NOW!!!
yes, we need health care for everyone. yes, we need tax relief. but what difference will either mean if we can't afford to buy a car, then drive it to the corner store, to the doctor's office, or to the tax preparer? i haven't heard a single candidate out there that has promised me, or the rest of the middle and lower class citizens, anything that will even remotely improve and/or save our future.
ok, i am going to step down from my soap box, momentarily, and let you enjoy these "jokes".

Hahahaa, these are really funny. I am wanting something to change with gas prices, and I do hope that somebody decides to make gas more affordable. It is getting very hard to justify going to work when it costs me $8 just drive there.

Thoughtful entry. It gets a little scary when you really stop to think about it but I don'think too many people are thinking about it. What will happen when the big rigs can't roll anymore? Paula
Hi I will have to go and take a photo of our petrol (gas) station signs. But then I would have to warn you to watch out before you had an heart attack....the price of our petrol (gas) is up again this week and is now £1.10p a litre...that works out at just under £5 a gallon...as the exchange rate with the $ is aprox $2 = £1 THAT MEANS OUR PETROL IS AROUND $ 10 a gallon !!!!! We really do have to think these days about where we are going and if our journey is really necessary. Love Sybil xx
Regina,
Gas here is $10 a gallon.
