So one of the big election issues in the US is now: the rising gas prices.
To some Americans their gas price at the pump is more important than
the situation in Iraq, or health care, or the poverty problem,
or better education, or the environment, or crime fighting.
Journalisthuman Bob Woodward smells a rat.
He believes GWB has made a secret deal with Saudi Arabia, to lower oil prices after the Summer,
just before the presidential elections, so GWB can claim he did motorists a favor.
And John Kerry said he thinks Bob W could be right.
This is all very crazy.
Fact is that gas is cheap in the US, compared to Europe.
My human pays 1 euro 24 for one liter unleaded here in The Netherlands.
In the US the price is only 40 eurocents a liter. So that`s less than one-third of our price.
Another fact is that American car owners refuse to exchange their gas guzzlers
for cars that get a good mileage. If they would all do that, the US wouldn`t even need
to import oil!... and wouldn`t feel so motivated to mess with Iraq, I`m sure.

Okay, okay, that`s enough, I know. And I don`t need gas anyway.
Going a Sunday hike! See y`all tomorrow!
