$3.00 a Gallon

I thought, at least according to the past rhetoric coming from Democrats and Environmentalists, that a higher price for gasoline was supposed to be a good thing? Good because it will do the obvious: cause folks to slow down, drive less, and pollute less. That is happening. But now that it is at this high rate, those same outspoken critics of the automobile are criticizing the oil companies. They should be applauding the oil companies for saving the environment. A senator from N. Y. wants to investigate the oil companies. He should be on his pulpit telling everyone what a grand stroke this high price is. I suppose because government doesn't get credit, that his hypocrisy is evident. I think we should all just buy bicycles and forget the cars ;)
