Idiots!

Okay... I am now officially past tired of hearing Americans bitch about gas prices.

You wanna convince me you are really serious about taking a bite out of the evil oil companies?

STOP BUYING LUXURY ROAD-WARRIOR-MOBILES WITH ENGINES LARGE ENOUGH TO DRIVE AIRCRAFT CARRIERS!

Then, and only then will I be convinced that we are serious about our issues with petroleum, and not just a nation full of sollopsistic, self-obsessed me-monkeys in search of our next excuse to whinge and be excused from anything resembling civil responsibility.

You know how I know Americans want high gas prices? They are subsidizing them! Willfully! Look at the stickers on the windows of that next big American LandChastener SUV. Those numbers aren't lies. You don't magically get better mileage once you buy the damn thing!

Until I no longer read terrible, craptacular things like:

"Despite all the concern about rising prices of gasoline, sport utility vehicles are among the hottest sellers so far this year for General Motors Corp.

GM said strong sales of its Hummer H3 midsize SUV have helped the Hummer brand increase its total sales by 185 percent during the past year in the United States. The full-size Chevrolet Tahoe and the new HHR "retro wagon," described as a smaller brother of the Chevrolet Suburban, have exceeded sales expectations this year so far, GM said.

David Healy, an auto industry analyst with Burnham Securities Inc., said he isn't surprised the cars are selling well as new or remodeled additions to GM's product line, even with gas prices approaching $3 per gallon."

...will I believe that, as a nation, we are going to do anything more than simply bend over and take it.

The fscking piece of shite H2's gets less than 20 miles per gallon. And the full size Hummer gets less than 10 mpg, you got that?! But these things are flying off the shelf. And other American motor companies are still busy attempting to crank out not only SUVs but more ultra-heavy, V8 and V10 lead-sleds that correspond to some mythical American past of rebels in their liberty-mobiles, tear-assing down gloriously open roads with freedom for sale at 25 cents a gallon.

And people are buying these things! So until you decide you want to stop being the suckers and rubes in this particular scam, I don't want to hear it. Yeah, I know, I'm not talking about all Americans, sit down, Woody Harrelson.

As for the rest of you making things tougher on the rest of us, though: shut yer collective pie hole until you decide to walk the walk America...
