They've got mass-transit. We don't. We could fit all of Europe and then some in our country...it won't work visa versa. I said it before, we need to adapt to OUR needs, not Europes. And drawing comparisons between the two regions isn't fair, or accurate in the least.

Sure, that lady doesn't need to drive her tanker; and I agree...but this gas thing is hurting the whole country, not just her. Think...truckers, which means food and other items which means EVERYTHING gets more expensive, as our pay rates don't go up to compensate. I don't wanna hear it from them.

.....and don't even get me started on the Prius comment...
Well said, well said. Don't shoot the messenger. In all honesty I think the author is quite ignorant to what you just stated; we're not the same and we depend heavily on transportation and PT just isn't going to work over so big a land mass as the U.S. Seems like the rest of the world has it out for us and will take any jab/slight towards us because somehow "they deserve it".
