Three Cheers for $4 Gasoline

Of course you must keep in mind that I am a retired engineer, living in the Smoky Mountains, who drives 10 miles to town once a week for groceries; these facts make it possible for me to develop a Solomon like understanding of reality from an Archimedean point of view.

While you may have yours, there are also a lot of people who can't afford to move, can't afford to buy a new car, and are being squeezed pretty hard by the increased gas prices. It may be well and good to see those who wantly wasted fuel get what's coming to them but a lot of innocent people are being caught in the crossfire. Your cheering for high gas prices while living comfortably in your retirement comes across badly to those who're still working and struggling to get by.
