Dear Eunice ,, if gas goes to $15 per gallon, the last of your worries will
be global warming. At that price, employment will tumble, and crime will go through the roof. Where are all the employees of businesses that rely of transportation going to find jobs? And what happens when the rich suburbanites buy up the city they abandoned when gas was cheap. Where are the inner city residents going to go? The blacks, hispanics, other minorities who mostly live in the inner city, are they suppose to move to the suburbs? What we are looking at is a social upheaval of massive proportions. Total breakdown of society. High crime, no go zones. Do some reading about the early 1930's. There is a reason the communist party was popular at that time. When someone has seen his home foreclosed, has no job, his neighborhood is being bought up by the same folks who left years before ... And then he sees a rich guy drive by in an SUV, thinking nothing of the $15 per gallon gas. How do you say . "stick em up" "Eunice Brown" wrote in message ... If the following article is true about gas prices going to $15/gallon then why is everyone so worried about global warming? http://www.businessandmedia.org/arti...521145247.aspx At $15 gallon there would be much less gasoline/fuel used. We would also see a rebirth of sailing, bicycling, walking, fiberglass sailboats would soar in value, food would further increase in cost and obesity would wane. I would even bet we would start seeing more houses with windmill additions. We would see less stinkpotters, less airplanes, less cars, less RVs, less ATV's. People would not be able to afford to live in the "boondocks" so rural property would be worth less. Housing developments may be torn down to make way for biofuel agriculture. Governments would see much less tax revenue, they would be scaled back greatly too. Liberals and environmentalists should be leaping with glee at this news. I am! A bright new future for rugged individualism! |
