Not quite sure what this is implying. I pay for my day-to-day stuff, although I do get free pens and notepads from the workplace.

By the by, I make A LOT less than most of the people who frazzled at the pumps. To be fair, I do realize that others have bigger things to worry about than I do ... I have no family (i.e., no kids ... I do have parents and sisters, but they take care of themselves ... ), no pets, I rent a small townhouse that doesn't need a lot of utilities, and, to be totally frank, no social life. I save most of the money I make and what I spend is pretty much on food and fuel. So I can understand that for some people, the fuel price increase is a bigger problem than it is for me. My problem is not so much that they're worried about it (we all should be) but they're manner of reacting to it (blaming the pres, berating the oil companies, glaring at SUV drivers, and so on).

I do have concerns about the oil crisis and all the many things it affects, and I do take it very seriously. I'm not some rich snob laughing at the poor folk who can't afford fuel. I just find it amusing to listen to the "mob mentality" that occurs ... blame-slinging, wails of injustice and things of this manner. That said, I also know that it isn't REALLY funny ... guess I was being a little facetious in my first post?
