[QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [QB] This aspect of Americans is why a lot of countries hate us. North America and industrialized Europe (i.e. 'The Western World)is about 10% of the worlds population, but do you know how much of the world's wealth and resources we use (and how much of those we waste?) I get so pissed off every time i see someone from the rich east side of my city get into an SUV to go to CVS to buy themselves a pack of smokes and some foot cream. 90% percent of te world doesnt have this option and i think more people would realize this. And as a population was are easy to sway, so we should be careful about following our gut when our media is controlled the way it is. Example: last year, the price of gas here (In R.I.) was $1.00 to $1.10.. then it went up to $1.70-$1.80.. we were outraged, but continued to waste it. Then the price came down to $1.40-$1.50 after we made a point of getting all our politicians on the isssue. We are all enthused gas is so cheap. But wait.. they just raised the price $0.40 and they just made us feel happy about it? Makes me feel stupid... [/QB][/QUOTE]
