text: what do americans think about rising gas costs? and who is to blame? jus wondering what you all think and do u think a one day revolt of not buying gas would change anything? also who do you think is to blame? one day would not do it. and just postponing the day you fill up wont do it either.  it won't affect the bottom line.  it's possible if a noticable segment of americans stopped driving their cars for a week (not using gas would affect the bottom line) and used feet, bikes, public trans (it will be running anyway), then, just maybe the big oil ceo's and opec would notice.  as for who is to blame, this is a two parter. first it's the tight clique that exists between big oil, politicians and 'friendly' arab nations. but perhaps the biggest to blame are the american people for being so apathetic that they allowed this to happen by not voting or even paying attention to the corruption going on in washington,dc and being to lazy to walk down to the corner market. maybe this is also tied to the obesity problem, but that's another ball of wax!
