Copyright Viviane Pimentel 2004Some experts are saying the economic slump will be lengthy but shallow. And they call that a silver lining. Hmm..my finances have been shallow for quite a while now. The money crunch is being felt by everyone right now, except of course the big oil companies. Not to worry, though, our presidential Hopealong Cassidys have a plan. Hillary and John want to drop the gas tax for the summer. Wow, think of that. The average driver will save almost $30.00 over the summer. Not per tank; we're talking a total savings of 30 bucks over the life of the tax suspension. Are you as excited as I am? That's like using a tissue to stanch a severed artery.
We really need to start putting money into alternative energy methods. Nothing will change until we cease our dependence on oil. As I write, it doesn't look likely, but maybe someone will dip into their campaign funds and buy a clue.Unfortunately, I am as guilty as anyone of wasting resources.
Yeah, I love my gas hog, but I am working on getting sails and a solar cell installed, I promise. Years ago, I had this crazy dream that in the 21st century we'd all be flying electric cars happily out of our aircarports. Well, the future is now,I see monkeys, and they are emphatically not flying out of my carport.
