I love my big brother, I really do. We can't discuss politics, we just don't agree. He got mad at me once for mentioning that he and his wife make really (really really) good money.
This weekend, he went on a rant about how he's so sick and tired of people whining about gas prices. He went on to say that buying a higher mileage car is stupid because you can't possibly make up for other things over the course of the life of your car by saving a bit on gas.
Somewhere along the way, he forgot that there are people out there working for minimum wage, to whom 20 bucks is a couple meals for their family, who couldn't make the mistake of trying to buy a more economical car; just keeping the one they have running is killing them but they still can't afford a new one.
I suppose we are to just shut up and smile. But, this is a country in which we can whine all we want. So, I say...let the whiners whine! Whine away! Whine whine whine whine whine.
