How Do Unprecedented Fuel Prices Affect Us?

By: GARKO

At first glance one sees gas prices in the range of $4 per gallon across the country and just winces and tries to think of happier things but the impact upon lives of the people affected has widespread ramifications that go beyond the obvious.
Start by thinking of how many traffic jams are being caused across the nation because some poor fellow couldn’t afford gas and hoped there was enough in their engine to get them home while the gauge showed empty
How many additional cars will be left stranded by the roadside, burnt out and gutted because the driver could not keep up with the price of insurance and gasoline?
How does one quantify or measure the number of ruined days, accidents, arguments brought on by skyrocketing gas prices?
Once an individual of conscience starts to influence people beyond of their friends and family they start to see that their actions have ripples.
I had a fairly successful ebook on traffic shortcuts in Los Angeles. It sold a few copies. Too few! lol
I would occasionally wonder whimsically if I had sent anyone off their usual path to some serendipitous circumstance, good or bad.
Take that small example and compare it to how many lives are affected in so many different ways by the out of control rise in gas prices
Life is a series of probabilities, causes which cause other things which lead us in directions that hold surprises. That is the plus and the minus.
So what really is the cost of outrageous gas prices?
And how do we, as individuals, as pieces in the dominoes game of life that still manage to have self determinism take the right actions so as to stop being ripped off by large corporations and con jobs?
There are those who reject that they have self determinism or that their self determinism is sufficient to make any great changes in their fate.
But such people are already dead and they are just waiting for someone to come along with a shovel.
In today's world there are cures for cancer to be found if one does some research, just as there solutions to global warming, the environmental waste of New Orleans and the respiratory ailments of the 911 first responders if one doesn't take no for an answer and the solutions applied, there is a solution on an individual level to emancipate us from slavery to the gas pump.
Did you know you can lower the gas consumption of a vehicle with water? A hybrid engine using both gas and water can be installed quite easily. A fully hydrogen burning system can be implemented with just a bit of knowledge, resourcefulness and effort.
It is worth it in terms of more money in your pocket, a cleaner environment, a smoother operating car and in so many unforeseen ways that could have positive ramifications that it really is wise to make the small investment of time and caring to get your car converted to a hydrogen system.
