Your most civil points have been highlighted. Just couldn't let it go, eh? Even to this point, note that I have not called you any names. I have only pointed out your hypocrisy. Even the last time you and I had an interchange here, I did not call you names. You lost your cool in a thread about Christianity and angrily stomped off. You had a choice to defend your position and chose another route. Because you disagree with someone does not automatically make that person "uncivil".
My point is that people like to complain, but what are they going to do about it? I was simply trying to get people to think about the cause and effect of rising fuel prices. It is fun to complain, but a little more difficult to take action isn't it? Did I make you feel uncomfortable? Well, I'm not sorry. We are in a serious situation here because our entire economy revolves around crude oil and if all we do is gripe among ourselves, we will get what we deserve. Not that there is anything wrong with posting about it here; I'm simply urging people to take the next step and put some of their FF energy into a letter to their elected representatives and to take some time and learn about the causes of high oil prices. If you think that makes me a know it all, then that is your problem. Unlike you, I do not think I am smarter or better than anyone else here. I do think a lot about certain issues and like to discuss it with other people. When an issue like this is discussed, you run a risk that someone will disagree and counter your opinion with their opinion. The dialouge may get spirited and heated, but that does not make it uncivil.
I'm sure you would like to kick my ass right now, but, even so, I harbor no ill feelings toward you.
Now folks, let's talk about these soon to be $10.00 per gallon gas prices.
