Auntie Charo's Soapbox

So, the gas now costs $4.67? Who cares. You need gas, pay for it!
Your power bill is going to be hiked by 15%? Pay it or live in a cardboard box. Your streetlights have been taken down and it's dark where you live and you fear those young thugs roaming around during the dark of night? Buy a damn gun!
Payless Mkts. recently gave away green bags to save the earth!! But nothing's being said about the rising cost they have to pay for power, water, gas and the rising cost of bringing in the food....with or without salmonella or it's first cousin e-coli!
We're all victims and no one is out there trying to figure out how we can survive this modern day crucifixion.
I wish I could give you ten answers on how you can live through this perfect storm but I can't, you see, I'm a victim too! I suppose we'll know we're in the thick of it when we start seeing the creation of clothes lines.
As for mass transit....it's a pipe dream. We're just going to talk about it until the gas reaches $5.50 a gallon....then we'll decide to talk seriously about putting a working transit system together.....no wonder the governor and his underlords are gone....who the hell wants to stay here but those that can no longer afford an airline ticket?
We'll never get those brains that fled the last time Guam was in trouble to come back.....anywhere seems to be a better place than Guam......unless of course you live in tornado alley!
