I can't accept any of this "we've got it good" talk until I see average incomes, and costs of living for all these expensive-gas countries. It's allllll relative. I'm not crying poor-pitiful-USA...but we aren't doing as great as some make it seem right now if you ask me.
I do want to ask what you meant, Stovt001, when you say wafer-thin profit margins for the oil companies...When I see a 40 billion dollar profit last year along with Broken profit records, plus tax incentives for them when the rest of us are barely getting by...I'm sorry - but I just can't justify that.
Regardless - This is supposed to be the funnies!!
