on oil, war, and the earth in general.

firstly, i've seen many attempts at reducing the cost of fuel in America. Planned boycots on certain dates, or boycotting certain oil companies to force them to reduce their prices allowing other companies in the industry to reduce their prices as well. what are we doing? why are we so worried about money?

do we not realize that there is a limited amount of oil in the earth? We have something like 30-50 years of oil left if we continue using it at the current rate of use. (this info. isn't based on much, just memory.) The point is, making gasoline cheaper is only going to more quickly decrease the amount of it we have...I'm referring to facebook groups and myspace bulletins encouraging people to decrease oil prices...do we not realize the consequences of this? we need to wake up and have some common sense...

that said, driving is one of my favorite hobbies. i love driving my '91 Volkswagen Jetta. I love that it gets 30+ mpg on the freeway. You know, i'm reducing the use of oil by driving a car that gets such great mileage!!! my car has about 205,000 miles on it. At 30.mpg (which it doesn't always quite get, depending on whether it's city streets or freeway miles), it has used 6,833 gallons of gasoline. My car alone. Do the math for your car.

then, there is war to consider. well, there is always war to consider. the world is fallen. there will not be peace until there is a reclamation of ourselves by the truth.
