Imagine, filling the 30 gallon tank of a 1980 Chevy Caprice costs
you... 2 bucks! I was hearing this report in NPR, and this guy proudly
shows off in that stupid vehicle like it was the ultimate dream. It
may be a nightmare for the environment, but --like in America-- gas is
subsidized by their socialist government making it all possible. So,
forget about Obama, Chavez is the way to go if you love your SUVs,
folks.

Oh c'mon, all governments try to secure the loyalty of a certain class
of people, either the lions or the monkeys. In this case he's pissing
off the lions without providing any real benefit to the monkeys.
Who wants to drive a big car/SUV but a gorilla?
We would do EVERYTHING DIFFERENT with the Revolution.

Sorry, but my ideal dreamworld isn't a city with hundreds of thousands
of people living in a square mile of real estate. I'll keep my 2.5 acre
lot, thanks.

If all people were like you, we would need a planet the size of
Saturn. But Earth is a rather small planet, where some people are
lucky like you, but others can handle lots of people on bikes and
public transportation.
