Quit your whimpering, folks..... Here in northern Alberta (living right on
top of the stuff, no less) we are about $3.12 per US gallon. At least the
price has gone down from the nearly $3.35 per US gallon we were paying late
last fall. And yes, that's good old reg'lar no-lead.

You just don't know when you got it good..

Hell Jim it's all relative. The more a community (collectively) makes the
more it costs to live in that community. Demand side economics.

Keep in mind the actual cost of gasoline varies much less than the rate
of taxation on such gasoline from place to place.

You gotta drive. Gas prices are totally out of your control. Just pay the
man and stop griping about it. Just put it out of your mind and enjoy life.
Bitching/worrying about it has absolutely no effect.

The ONLY thing you can do is drive a fuel efficient car OR if you choose to
drive a gas guzzler, drive it in a manner that conserves gas. You have no
other options.

Kate.... your political parties have goofy names and I can't figure out who
stands for what...

Up here we have the Liberals (these are the folks that think you can spend
your way out of debt)...... we have the Conservatives (more to my liking but
sometimes too reserved) and everything in between - including (are you
ready) the Marijuana Party (self explanatory)..... the Green Party (mostly
tree huggers)..... the Rhinocerous Party (a lot of good ideas but they just
like to have fun with it)..... the Communist Party (what they're doing in a
democratic election, I'll never know)....

BTW, the Liberals are those fun folks that are trying to run the national
gun registry so that some day they can call my long guns illegal and take
them away.

FWIW, it's a chilly one here today..... -30ish with a stiff breeze. I'll
probably use about 3 bucks worth just getting to the point where the
transmission will shift decent.

I can see why you're confused. Down here we have the liberals
(Democrats) who believe in paying for government expenditures with
adequate taxes and who ran a surplus in their last administration, and
then we have the (so-called) conservatives (Republicans) who believe
"deficits don't matter" (in the words of VP Cheney), and who are running
record deficits in the current administration.
