Gas

Is anyone else sick of being reminded that we should be happy because Europe & Canada have it much worse? If the oil companies were taking it in the shorts (in lieu of posting record profits), I might buy that a little more, but it's kind of stupid to assume that because we could be worse off, we should be happy with our current predicament. That's kinda like telling a rape victim, "Hey, you should be happy. At least they didn't murder you like that other person over there!"
