As a list owner and moderator, I see many articles go through lists that
"need to be passed on". PLEASE make sure that the article you are passing
are actually true. Urban legends are very easy to believe, and I know I have
fallen prey to such enticing ideas. Currently we are experiencing a gasoline
crisis. I know that it is hard on everyone to pay up to (and over) $1.50 a
gallon of gasoline. BUT the GAS OUT article that is circulating the lists is
an urban legend. Just go to http://4urbanlegends.com and you will find it in
their archives. Or you can search through your ISP and find a different
site.
Seriously, the only way to lower gasoline prices is to STOP USING
GASOLINE for your main form of travel. Start carpooling, only going to the
store once a week/month, pick and choose what you need instead of what you
want. Get out that bike that has been collecting bust since you fell off
that exercise kick. Walk. hey, I understand.
I love the comfort of my van, and the ability to dress in sweats and RUN
from the house to the van, turn the key, blast the heat, run to the house,
warm up, and then run back to a heated vehicle. BUT, I too, am looking at
the gas station 3 blocks from my front door and going "Not me, not until the
prices fall."
So, I have pulled out my bike. I have even gotten out the trailer for
the children (the one that has not been opened since I bought it) and I will
BIKE the 7 blocks to Krogers, the 12 blocks to pick up the children, and
even the 25 blocks to rent a movie. And, yes, I will even put on my spring
coat to do it.
Hey, then I am doing two rights for my country. I am banning gasoline,
and I am banning the extra weight that is sneaking up on my hips.
Point to all of this. We need to get up and do something, not just pass
an email that is not true to everyone. So, do it today!
