Stop Whining Already!

Okay, I was listening to the radio today, and this lady was going on in some sob story about how she can't afford to drive ten miles to work because gas is "so expensive."

Quit whining already people! Gas is actually a whole lot cheaper here than it is in Europe, not like I've been to Europe or anything but some people that I've met from England say that it is more expensive there.

Gas wouldn't be so expensive if people would stop freaking out about it. When Starbucks coffee went up nine cents you didn't see people complaining about how they wouldn't be able to afford coffee, but yet gas goes up five cents and suddenly people can't "afford to get to work."

Another reason why gas is "so expensive" is that we have a bunch of taxes crammed into it so that we don't have to pay them elsewhere, like when you are buying lettuce or something. Maybe they should tax brussel sprouts, that sounds like a good idea...

So stop your whining America! If gas is really cutting a hole into your wallet, then cut something out of your life. Let's say, don't drink so much Starbucks, make some coffee at home. Think about it, if coffee is about as much as gas and you cut back on coffee, then you get one more gallon of gas then you used to without hurting you financially.

Enough for my little "Republican speech" as my dad likes to call it (even though I try to tell him that I'm Independant, because we can vote for whatever party we want to and no one can say anything bad about it :P), and I'll let you decide for yourself.
