More Griping.

Considering that politicians are to blame for the so-called “gas crisis” (check out the number of refineries in the United States and compare it to demand, then consult all of the red-tape involved that has discouraged—no, prevented is a better word—more refineries from doing business), why is it that the people now look to these same politicians for a “solution”?

My gut instinct is to say that people are ignorant at best or stupid at worst. Perhaps that means that I am wise at best or arrogant at worst. In any case, I'd still rather be me.

There’s something in the American people that craves monarchy. They want a figurehead either to thank for their blessings or to blame for their misfortunes. Freedom? Hell, that’s too much responsibility. I just wish that I didn’t have to be lumped in with the so-called “popular sovereignty” that rules this land of the somewhat and less and less free.
