It's unfortunate we Americans feel that we've got a God-given right to live with the kind of luxuries cheap fuel and food provides for us. Half of the things many people would consider necessary are in fact superfluous. They don't even want most of it anyway.
In the news all we hear about is the bad part of this, but I think it will be good for us in the end. It's exactly what a lot of people need to shake them up and make them consider what's really important to them.
