The war on Iraq, the recent tax-cut to the wealthy, or even the alleged scandal in the Haditha deaths seem to be less talked about than rising gas prices. Perhaps it’s true that people really only worry about things when it hurts their pockets.

I’m curious as to know how gas prices are where you live and how you plan to cut back if that’s the case.
