I have to admit, the obvious pain aside, that I'm not totally distressed by this. I've been burning inside about the real cost of oil. I'm going to take a certain pleasure in all those stranded Hummers and the complete asses who make them and worse, buy them. It's bizarre, I think, that we were so self-absorbed and myopic to have squandered this resource in such a frivilous way, but I actually believe that there is a better future ahead.

In a way it's all like Dr. Suess's "The Lorax," that even 5 year olds could have understood. That's the problem though, 5 year old mentalities in middle aged bodies.
