Is anybody else endlessly boggled by the endless debate over oil prices? People get all riled up as prices near $4 a gallon; politicians get all protesty and call each other names; adolescents keep on play Black-Ops; and all of us grow slightly more confused. Of course its the middle east's fault even though we get the majority of our oil from Canada (but it actually is). We attempt to fund hydrogen fuel, the electric car is invented, and destroyed, and then reinvented with cooler comercials, and some of us await for the Star Trek teleporter or a James Bond personal helicopter to pop-up to get us around. I concur with the above article, that in the end, we just have to face it that oil prices are going to go up because, simply, more people use oil now-a-days. And that's that. Ride your bike.
