[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How else are we going to get flyover country to give up their smelly trucks?

They may think twice before rolling coal.

Cause for celebration- I would like to see $10/gas.  I walk and bike nearly everywhere.[/quote]

Have you ever been to the midwest, pp?  Have you ever visited rural America?  
Do you understand that it is not possible for everyone to bike and walk everywhere?
Do you understand that the farmers that grow your food and raise your crops need fuel for their farm equipment?

You are just clueless.  [/quote]

They made dumb decisions about where to live. They chose to live in the middle of nowhere, rather than in a city with access to transit options or bike usage. Their making stupid choices about where they live and being dependent on gasoline in order to get to anywhere isn’t my problem. As for farmers, same question applies - why did they pick a farm out in the middle of nowhere? Dumb, dumb, dumb.  [/quote]

Think long and hard where all the food comes from....

Expensive gas means expensive food sooner or later. At least rural people can grow their own food ;)

Very little actual “food” is grown on US farms. Most is corn, which is used for animal feed and ethanol production for use in gasoline.

Reduce meat consumption and get rid of gasoline engines, and we wouldn’t even need most of the farms we currently have. [/quote]

Making up crap as you go along, eh?

Even the fruits and vegs imported from Mexico require gas - high gas price, there goes your beloved organics. [/quote]

Technically speaking, she's right.  Most of the food we grow is to feed to our animals that we eat as food.  Most of what you see when driving through the midwest is animal feed corn.  Not human feed. [/quote]

Actually, most of what is grown in the midwest is for foreign export.[/quote]

That's not at all true.  63% of farmland is used to grow animal feed.[/quote]
