Mmm... Karamel Sutra

My favorite Ben and Jerry's flavor. half caramel, half chocolate with a core of creamy caramel running through it, pure brilliance.

Edit: Upon further consideration I haven't produced anything of value for a while, so here goes.

I am sick and tired of having to rely on a callous, globe-spanning corporation for my way of life. I work 40-43 hours in an average week and still cannot seem to pull myself out of debt. I owe money more places than I thought I could, I can barely keep food in the house and I worry that I could get sick or hurt and I wouldn't be able to afford it. On top of all this, gas prices are only barely starting to decrease after a summer of record highs and I know that it's only temporary.

Mark my words, gas will reach over $5.00 a gallon by may 2009. This is going to be the trigger that causes rioting in the streets. There will be a change, there must be a change or there will be violent revolution. This is not a thing I hope for, or want. But it is a thing that I know will happen.

The same things as would have been effective at the start of this are still going to be effective now. We need to ban SUVs that get less than 25 miles/gallon. We need to stop pimping big, ridiculous trucks. We need to start walking to the store when it's only 10 blocks away. "Driving for Fun" needs to go away. Carpooling is still viable, I give rides to 1-3 other people every work night. We are tapping a finite resource, and while it's a very large quantity, it's still finite.

Also, healthcare crisis, childcare crisis, carbon emissions crisis, e-terrorism crisis, food shortage crisis, the wave of decapitation murders sweeping the world. It's a scary world we live in, thank god Hitler is already dead.
