Actually, Lindy. You may be surprised to learn my position on this is probably closer to Tom's than yours.
Gas is going up in price because we don't have any and we're addicted to it. The same would hold true for any other commodity, whether it be meth, crack or heroin.
You may correctly argue that getting us addicted was someone's fault, and preventing us from taking steps from shaking the addiction is someone's fault, but the rising prices are directly the result of supply and demand.
The only thing we can do as private citizens is get a small car, move close to work, take the bus, and insulate your house. And if enough of us do it, prices will go down. If you want to get angry at someone, fiind out who's trying to talk you out of taking these steps.
