| #2 Barbara, you have it all wrong. Just look at how bad is was in Andrew Johnson's day. Even in its infancy teh GOP was in cahoots with big oil. |

| #1 I knew it! I was trying to explain to someone this weekend that gas was much more expensive (in terms of % of income) in the mid-late '70's than it is now. They didn't want to believe me, even though I lived through it and they didn't. Also, notice there aren't any gas lines today? No alternate days of the week to be allowed to fill up? You can have the "good old (Carter) days." Been there, hated that, burned that t-shirt. |
