Awwww. Is the big, mean gas pump making it hard fill up your Suburban? Got an owie in your wallet? Poor guy!

Suck it up, ya big baby. Take the bus. Get a hybrid. Telecommute. There are people in the world who are really suffering. Food prices are shooting through the roof for people who have been trying to feed their families on pennies a day. Your neighbors' kids are getting mutilated and killed in Iraq. We could be on the brink of an ecological meltdown and you're whining because it's going to cost a bit more to haul the Winnebago to your favorite fishing hole? Gimme a break.

Ok, ok. I know. Gas prices are tough on the already stretched middle class. I know it's hard on my family. Everyone I know is feeling the pinch. But really, let's get it in perspective.
