Description

I have been watching the news, movies, and listening to the news and I was inspired to do this piece.

I know I don't usually voice my views publicly, but I was very moved to do this.

The United States is in trouble, I wish we did not rely on oil so much. If you think about it, it's a way of life. Oil provides us with so much, and what have we really done to reduce our oil dependency? Yes we now have better mileage for our cars, but we still have not reached the mileage standards that a country such as China has. We blame China for so much, but really why don't we look inward at our problems. And the reason our gas prices are rising is not because of China and India's need for oil, it is because of the new way oil is being traded. Somewhat like bonds and paper cash is traded. This is what is fueling the gas price rise. Sure maybe the need for oil brought up the price to $80 a barrel but that is it the rest is because of the new way of trading.

I have been thinking about this a lot and this is what came out of it. I guess I am just frustrated, and I am hoping for change. Even though the quote is somewhat funny, the subject matter is quite serious.
