Participant[quote=dreadlord]Let’s see, Car pool, drive less, take the bus, walk, Bike, buy a small 50cc scooter and get there slower. Maybe move into a cheap rental near work or whereever they need to go?
You know, adapt. Aren’t humans supposed to be able to adapt to their environment?
out of 6 billion people on the planet, a portion of 300 million people wouldn’t be able to afford $10 gas. Europe has been living with close to $10 gas for a long time. Guess what, they continue to live, eat, and go places.

Most of you democrats have no clue as to how poor people have to struggle to live.
Go get a minimium wage job and see how many gallons of gas at $10 each you can buy.
Maybe they should just take a limousine, sort of like “Let them eat Cake”.

Participant[quote=dreadlord]I think $10 a gallon would be great, and I used to believe I’m a conservative. These days, I wouldn’t label myself a Democrat or Republican.
$5 dollar a gallon gas is already changing the society in some very structural fashion:
More usage of public transportation
Less sales of gas guzzlers
People driving less
People thinking about living closer to work
Real interest in alternative fuel vehiclesHere are some other interesting changes that will probably come with $10 gas:
True production of alternative fuel vehicles
Re-booting the US Nuclear Energy capabilities
True development of mass transit
Higher density population centers rather than sprawl
Less mega-malls and acres of parking that people drive to
Heck, healthier population from more walking?If we do the $10 a gallon via a variable tax, and the tax revenue is split evenly between public transit and health care, the US can make major steps in solving some fabric problems in our society.
[/quote]
What are you going to do for the people who can’t afford $10 gas??
No wonder Congressional Approval is only 12%. They don’t get it either.

Participant[quote=publicdefender]At common law, I think i remember hearing that all felonies were punishable by Death. It certainly wouldn’t be that absurd; do you really think it would be that much better to spend 30 or 40 years in prison, starting at age 50 than to be executed swiftly? If you’ve ever visited (or resided in) a real prison, you might think the death penalty was not such a bad option…we’re not talking about debtor’s prisons. We’re talking about people who steal money. Huge amounts of money. Same as a robbery, but done with words and paper. Why not kill someone for a robbery, if it’s big enough? [/quote]
