[QUOTE="fwb_1234, post: 3488832, member: 573700"] That's a good point, and you aren't the first person to try to sell the "using less oil = getting of Middle East's balls" idea. I think it's a really good idea. However, this fact won't really affect my gas decisions. I think that, as a culture, we don't commit to solving problems as a group or for anything in the future. We are very independent and short sighted. We don't vote because "Well, it's just one vote, it won't matter." attitude is so prominent. If we buy more fuel efficient cars, it's because of the cost at the pump, not because of the situation in the Middle East. (I'm just one consumer of oil, what's it going to matter?) Actually, rethinking my previous point, we still haven't really changed our habits. We still buy gas guzzlers and then get mad at ourselves for not having the restraint to buy something smaller and more practical. We live for the NOW. [/QUOTE]
