Gas prices and taxes

I could extole on the brute and blatent disgustingness of the recent incline in the cost of gas and the Blob-type way in which my car guzzles the stuff and the unfortunate nature of my job that requires me to drive 150 miles a day! How come Mr. Bush doesnt come on my TV and tell me not to buy gas for fun this time around? At $3.36 a gallon today…
Ridiculous! My salary didnt increase. Don’t they realize NOT everyone gets a “cost-of-living” raise every year… if ever. At this rate, I might as well work at the local McD’s and forget my college degrees. Atleast then, I could walk there.

Taxes: On a local radio station they were saying how wonderful it is that we only pay 31% of our salary to taxes… where countries like the Netherlands pay 34-52% depending on their income bracket. However, unlike us… THEY HAVE FREE COLLEGE EDUCATION AND FREE HEALTHCARE (paid by taxes)! I’d rather pay the extra tax and not worry about how much my trip the ER will cost me when I get food poisoning and not worry about paying back my $100K in student loans WITH interest.

I see…

therefore, I am.

(My futile attempt at procrastinating writing my paper on the plausible etiology of autism…) any and all distractions welcomed at this point!

Oh, there’s nothing like the last week of class to make you welcome sleep and death. :D

Me thinks it shall be a book. Because words afterall are eternal and stronger than brute. Ideas.

V for vision…

Sit back, relax and have a glass of wine. STOP.

Smell the spring.

Seek to be Free, in all aspects of the word. Make the world a better place. Just remember it has NOT always been this way, and it won’t be this way in the future… no matter which way the pendulum swings in the present.
