Yesterday I got excited about filling up my gas tank at $2.97/gal. It's the lowest I've paid for a gas in months. How sad is that? I used to relate a galon of gas to a galon of milk, but gas bypassed that equality over a year ago. I wonder what my children's generation is going to be like. There is a tremendous gap in today's world--just one gap--that seperates the oldest generation from everyone else. Example. Today the big news story was some guy in Iraq was killed by an American firing squad--a real big deal, supposedly, though I heard one radio news caster say with hard fact that it is totally uncertain what the man's role was. But politicians were celebrating and people were commenting on how this might help Bushy's approval ratings. Anyway, the guy who we killed (I can't pronounce his name so I'm not even going to try to spell it) was all over different news stations. This morning I was watchng CNN and people were calling in to comment about it, and they were all old men (you could tell by their voices and how long it took them to get out a clear sentence--forget being consice). Their arguments weren't really arguments and their points were weak and difficult to follow because they kept going off on tangents. But it was all seriousness. Then you have talk radio on the rock stations who take this terrorist leader and joke about him having a Myspace account. Sarcasm, Sarcasm, sarcasm. And that's how we react to just about everything the government does. We don't take them seriously, we rarely every agree with their actions, and rather than getting angry and ranting about it all the time, we make jokes. And that's the difference between US and THEM.
