Have gas prices affected you?

[Hobbs]

Jump the shark, the dolphine, and the whale. TW, TW, TW. What the hell are you talking about? We're talking about gas prices and all of a sudden you onto religous chosen leaders? I'm not ever sure I understand what your point to this comment is. That when we elect a non-religious leader that God leaves us alone as opposed to a religious leader? That doesn't make sense. Purhaps I am just misreading your intent, purhaps not. I have read many of your past posts. What is your point, what is your position. I never took you as a religious zelot type TW, so this is a strange angle you've taken. And I have to agree, the Hitler reference, although this point is probly the only one that I get (sort of), was off base.


Side note: The largest major disaster? Could that be Mt. St. Helen, back in 1980? Or how about the earthquake in san Francisco back in 1901? Okalahoma bombing? 9/11? Earthquake in Alaska 1964? Colombine shootings in Colorado? Plenty of disasters to go around.

Al Kay Hall maybe said it.

However is you want to identify the source of many large disaster - as determined by the number of lives lost - religion repeatedly is a cause of so many disasterous deaths. The devil made us do it.

Gasoline? Only a trivial symptom. Notice that virtually no one has changed their driving habits.

If you don't understand where my post came from, then go back and read a post from shoot and a chapter in a well published book called Revelations. I mock thee who proclaimed for the mental midget president and brought god's wrath down upon us.

Sincerely in fire and brimstone-

The point tw is making is that if religious nuts can invoke an angry God whenever something bad happens, he can do the same invoking a more rational God's reaction to heretics like Bush.

TW, you're still a dingdong (and a bigger ass than Dogberry), though occasionally you aspire to Ho Ho. Though you seldom reach it, being generally unfunny as well as a crank.

It's a questionable habit of the more stupid among the Left to tell us right-of-center Presidents are all dumb. Thus they salve their bruised egos, egos singularly prone to easy bruising -- or they hope to. But their hope is dashed: the people the Left tells us are stupid are the people to whom the Left loses elections, and repeatedly. It's chronic. It happened again in 2004. This does not demonstrate leftist intellectual superiority, but instead the inferior quality of leftist thinking, which produces the typically inferior Leftist candidate. If you are Left, you are made perennially stupid by your lousy ideology. Seems to me you could stand to wake the hell up and commence a program of adult thinking. Funny that you won't, if you're really so brilliant as all that.

Darn. I was hoping no one would explain it so that Urbane Guerrilla would not understand. Sooner or later, someone was going to leak the code.

This statement has been made by you many, many times and I finally figured out what it is that need to comment on. True, people need to start changing their driving habbits in order to compensate for the higher gas prices. However, the gas prices have only been really, really high for a very short time, and we've been driving the way we do for a very, very long time. You're asking people to change decades and decades of driving habbits in a few months. I also can't imagine that there hasn't been some sort of change occuring over the last few months. I myself am not as 'willey-nilley' about driving all over town for no good reason. I pick and plan my driving trips to incorporate several errands in one trip and I try not to drive all over town. We should car pool but we always can't especilly when my wife has a meeting at school till seven and I need to pick up two very tired girls from their school.

The United States is about convienience. It's convinient to have your own car. We love to drive.
