Comments on: Americans Turn to Prayer at the Pump http://la.streetsblog.org/2008/04/29/americans-turn-to-prayer-at-the-pump/ Covering Los Angeles's livable streets movement Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:06:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Scotty http://la.streetsblog.org/2008/04/29/americans-turn-to-prayer-at-the-pump/comment-page-1/#comment-787 Scotty Thu, 01 May 2008 16:01:28 +0000 http://la.streetsblog.org/2008/04/29/americans-turn-to-prayer-at-the-pump/#comment-787 The arrogance of the lady in her huge SUV in Texas shows again how the religious crackpots can justify everything based on their beliefs. And add to that she lives in Texas, home of our great President. The money being wasted on that stupid war could build a subway or light rail line in every major city. Third world countries have high speed rail, and we have Amtrak that Bush would just soon shoot. The service is so bad, it is not a bad idea.

She said "I don't have to worry, I am born again." The poor reporter was shocked speechless. People from other countries need to be introduced gradually here.

Then we can show up at this pray-in and announce "I drink your milkshake. I drink it up!" from behind the cut outs. Then I will try and sell bakfiets and rickshaws to the people in attendance under a big banner that say "Join 'Em".

We all have issues we care about, and seeing Clinton and McCain acting so spineless, arguing for gas holidays with no concern for how it'll actually affect the highway fund and mass transit account (for which these taxes are earmarked), always gets me reaching for my wallet.

It's about time we start paying what other people pay. I think God wants us to drive less, and because he is “no respector of persons” – probably is in favor of higher gas prices.
