Was it necessary to cc this to everybody in the world?  ...and even if 
so, couldn't you have BCC'd it?  Now my email address, along with so 
many others, will be grabbed by numerous spam-bots.  sure, im sure 
enough spam bot's have it already, but this MASS cc was just not cool.

bleh.

God, I can't believe this epidemic of bitching about gas prices has
invaded LKML of all places.

Take the fucking bus, ride a bike, or just fucking move closer to work.
What ever gave all you people the idea that driving 50 miles each way to
work was sustainable in the first place?  I can't believe how many
otherwise rational people have a gigantic blind spot for this.

Or get a hybird vehicle. IMHO its seriously worth it. Doing 50mpg+ would be 
cheap even if gas is $5 per gallon (predicted price for 2006). Better than 
the 3mpg SUV mechanical whales everyone drives around. Costs like $90 to fill 
the tank, and you have to fill the tank just going up the road to get a loaf 
of bread.

We have here (in Austria/Europe) ATM 1.11 € for one liter of 91 Octane
gasoline. Diesel oil is slightly (a few Cents) less. And it will
probably rise further.
Even if I calculate a gallon with 3.78 liters it is less ....

If you weren't such a big dope you'd own oil
company stocks like the rest of us real
Americans. Participate in America rather than
bashing it :)
