In this CNN article (http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/06/27/germany.gas.ap/index.html) a German man gets so pissed at gas prices that he burns his own car. The kicker isn't that he torched his car. It's the following:

• "As in many countries, gasoline prices have risen steadily in Germany; a liter of regular gasoline now costs about euro 1.55, or $9.40 per gallon."
• "Police were investigating whether the man could be charged with violating German environmental laws with the stunt, Wagner said. Penalties range from fines to five years in prison. "

Holy shit! $9.40/gallon? That's where we're headed! The thing that really gets me is the "environmental laws" part of this deal.

If we get a bunch of whack-job "Lefties" in office and judiciary, we're screwed! I mean, come on, the guy has a gripe and he took it out on his own vehicle. Granted there may be toxins released but to tell you the truth...I think if many people could torch their cars right now, they would.  Get ready for jail!

I'm really also starting to get pissed about the crazy Democrats that care more about the environment than the safety and survival of our great country. Yes, we need trees, birds and animals but we also need to live. We have enough oil in and around this country to supply ourselves and the rest of the world. What better way to make money for our country to help out the poor, suffering, lazy bastards who are looking for the hand-outs that Democrats provide? At least we won't be paying 10 bucks-a-gallon. Stop with the road blocks and start with the drilling!
