Default Article on gas prices in my local paper today

http://www.mcall.com/news/local/all-gjul12...0,6457939.story

This quote in particular (from a Chrysler Pacifica owner) jumped out at me:

Quote:

''Detroit is out of touch by making these big gas guzzlers,'' he said.
I didn't realize that he didn't have a choice. I don't have a problem if someone wants to drive a gas guzzler. But to blame a manufacturer when you willingly bought the product just seems ridiculous to me.

loved this part, too...
"By the time he had dropped $44 to fill up his 2004 Chrysler Pacifica, Hinson, of Lower Macungie Township, was looking for somebody to blame."

yep, years of training by the mass media to look for blame everywhere but between your own ears...

"there oughta be a law"....
