[QUOTE="aplusmnt, post: 376367, member: 1399"] I did not take Caustics comments the same as you! I did not take it that he said we should all cut back. I took it as personal responsibility that if we are going to whine about things then we should be conserving and taking care of the problem ourselves instead of trying to begrudge or regulate a private enterprise from being successful. And that Americans as a whole are wasteful, we like to waste and then whine about high prices. Sure some on here maybe including your self, might conserve but as for a General statement what Caustic said is 100% accurate. SUV's and Pickups are the top sellers of cars. Families own more cars now than any other time in History. We have a since of entitlement and that we are suppose to have all these things. Well we are only suppose to have the things we work and can afford. It is not the responsibility of the Oil Companies or Government to guarantee us that we can drive SUV's and Eat out 5 times a week. If we can afford these things then more power to us! Many things I do not cut back on because I can afford them. I waste gas as much as the next person. On weekends sometimes I meet my wife at a Job 30 miles away, I drive separate, my son meets us there we drive 3 cars to do one job, just so we can all do other things before and afterwards. But I do not blame the Oil companies for my waste or cost of living. If they raise gas prices I will use less or make more! That is the only thing I can do about the situation, what they do is out of my hands. I am just happy that life is better financially now than it was in the 80's when we had that cheap gas. Gas might cost more but most of us own more and do more than we did in the 80's. Sure we pay more for Gas but that is just one small piece of our financial well being. I can remember being married in 86 and owning one car. Now almost all young people getting married have two. I can remember living in a house I bought for $5,000.00 but I see youths today buy nicer bigger homes than I could have afforded at their age. I remember going to see a movie once a month, but now young married couples play every weekend. [/QUOTE]
