Ride your bike:eyes: Trouble is that even if you don't have a car, high gas prices are going to effect you. High gas prices mean high food prices, means high commodity prices, means inflation and higher prices all around. Means that tens of thousands of poor and middle class people are going to go under. Means that you might go under.

Rather than copping a smarmy know-it-all, holier than thou attitude, why don't you try doing something constructive about the problem, like working for renewable energy use in your area. Or start making biodiesel for yourself and others(hey, it's going to be a growth industry). Or getting your state to adapt renewable energy mandates for state vehicles and office buildings.

But noooo, it is much easier to sit behind a computer and cop a smug attitude so that you can get your supioriority fix for the day. You don't even grasp the kind of hardship that such gas prices are and will cause the poor and less well off, you just think they should get a bike. Real compassion and empathy there, not:eyes:

Tell you what, just get out of the way, and let the rest of us try to solve the problem. The is no room for smarminess and smugness and attitude right now.
