I’m glad that you are writing that we should blame ourselves. Most people never blame themselves, only someone else. It is an American’s first instinct to blame someone else.

We Americans are to blame because we do not drill in every place where we can for oil. We are the blame for not having more refineries. We are the blame for not creating more oil-free ways to utilize or capture natural energies for our own means.

We stand by and let big business get tax breaks and then wonder why they make tens of billions of dollars profit per quarter. We buy big-ass cars and pickup trucks and drive 80-100 miles per hour and pay $150 per fill-up.

Boy, where’s George Carlin when you need him?

We Americans are so short-sighted on so many things.

I am for higher oil prices, so high that every American will finally figure out that we are the blame and then, maybe then, we Americans will do something about it.

I stand with you and pointing a finger back at ourselves. At some point I may even point my middle finger back at myself.

And when that time comes, I hope George Carlin, wherever he is, is laughing his ass off at us and saying, “I told you so!”
