Only in the Us of A

Im sure that was a joke. That was definitely a joke. OH GOD I hope it was a joke.

We shall overcome...... gas prices?

Seriously?

Dear god,
Please lower the gas prices back to Clinton-era rates. While you're at it, can I have a six-pack, a copy of Contact(1997) on Bluray, and um, a pony, pretty please?

Yes, these people are a bit nuts. However, gas prices are squeezing people's finances, especially those on the bottom end of the middle class. The US doesn't have a good public transportation system (except in larger cities). Millions of people must rely on their cards to get to work. Is it wrong to pray to ask that these people's burden is lifted?

Have they seen how much they're charging for a 20 oz coffee? They need to work some on that too.

Dear Cooky Evangelical Person on My Computer Screen,

So preacher, why the spectacle? Can't you easily pray for lower gas prices in your home or church? Are you somehow amplifying your connection with arms stretched around the gas pumps? Why the attention seeking behavior eh?

Why don't you instead get involved in your upcoming election and lobby your representatives for action instead of hanging around for a holy handout? It may not seem like much, but I assure you it's more productive than what you're doing here. You'll look less bat shit crazy too.

Just wondering

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Ugh that lady's horrible singing. I hate over-dramatic, misplaced vibrato/tremolo more than I hate organized religion.

So now they want Christ to turn water into oil? Hey while they're at it, how about some vinegar to? Get a nice wine/oil/vinegar salad dressing going. Mmmm; now I'm hungry.

How could you hate organized religion? It's one of the best early civics in Civ IV.

Since Twyman began holding prayer circles in Washington, D.C. gas stations, the movement has spread to Florida, Ohio, & California. Apparently, God hates the devote, because gas prices have only gone up at Twyman's prayer sites (the instance shown in the above video is an anomolie). The Washington Post article has a bounty of quotes which arguably demonstrate why America is so screwed up in the first place:

"Our pockets are empty, but we're going to hold on to God!"
"I think it's a wonderful thing. Nobody else is doing anything, [but] God is going to do something."

Wouldn't it be better to pray to Satan for lower gas prices? Cheney might listen.

God might do something, but not the god they were thinking about. Allah is going to smite us soon with $5/gal gas

It would save them gas if they stayed at home to pray for lower gas prices

It would seem gas is going down a lil now since, well its after the travel season. I mean whos on the road for long distances after the 4th?

I remember when I first started driving. Gas was $1.50 and EVERYBODY was throwing a f*cking fit about it. It has gone up steadily since. So, here's what I've learned over the short time I've been on Earth: Gas prices are going to go up and one day you are going to say "Remember when gas was $4.XX? Man THOSE were the days!"

So grab a bike and move to a city with a good transit system.

^ true, Rotty... We live just out of range of the Indianapolis bus system. I hate it too cause I'd love to use the bus w/ the kids when we're treking downtown for the day. The city here is talking about a commuter train now. Personally I don't think it will work because the population isn't centralized enough.

We might get gas down a little bit in the future...but we'll never see a buck fifty again. I got it for around a dollar when I first got my license. 10 bucks would last me almost a week! Man THOSE were the days

That lady with the high voice IS DRIVING A BMW 7 SERIES (expensive, gas guzzler)!!!!! And she's asking "God" for some help at the pump??? If she scaled down her ride, she wouldn't need so much gas, and with the money saved, "God" could add another luxurious golden clad wing on the Vatican. Pfff, some people are so selfish.
