Cutting the cheese

I get it. Gas prices suck. And I admit that it isn't so fun filling up my tank for 53 dollars when it used to be 23. But,

GET. OVER. IT.

Why is it that we complain so much about paying for something we need when we have no problem paying for something we want. Do you know anyone without a cell phone? Anyone without internet service, or some nice jewelry? How about a nice new haircut and the latest Nintendo gaming system?

How much did you drop the last time you went to a bar? My guess is somewhere between 30 and 70 bucks- it all depends on who you bought drinks for. My point is that one night of partying costs as much as a week or more of gas.

So please, quit complaining. I will too.

After all, there are starving children in Africa.
