hmmmm...

I lived an hour walk away from work (now I live up to an hour drive away)... I walked, I biked, I had my parents and/or friends give me a lift when it was convenient.  Yup, my dad would get up at 5 am in the mornings to drop me off at work, and pick me up at 12am in an ice storm when I was done...  it was called 'family' and 'parenting'.

I learned to take the bus that came around once only every 80 minutes.

I carpooled with friends.

I mean, everyone says the only solution is to lower gas prices, but that's the wrong mentality.  Everyone wants everything handed to them, and sometimes that just doesn't happen.

Hell, it's never happened to me, and i work freakin' hard for every luxury I have.  If i had to work an hour from home and couldn't afford gas, I'd move closer to work.  sorry if that means I can't afford my luxury house in the burbs...

the problem is that society got used to cheap gas.... moved out to the burbs where you can't do ANYTHING without driving... and it's retarded.  I don't feel sorry for the people who are complaining rather than taking matters into their own hands.  Anyone can move closer to work, suffer through public transit, beg/borrow/steal rides. 

But everyone wants to be by themselves, in their one-person carriage-o-lux. 

If people are so hard pressed by the price of gas, it is surely time for them to assess their lifestyle and adjust accordingly.  Society was able to adapt in the past, I'm sure we could adapt now instead of complaining all the time.

Everybody wants something for nothing... hell, i want something for nothing too... but I'll settle with busting my hump for it instead.

thats all fine and dandy, if the gas prices increased over time, so people would have time to adjust to them, but over 1 day its gonna cost people twice as much for gas.
