The real problem isn't the $5 Gas (which I welcome!) but the fact that the drooling hordes in this country will happily start killing people if it goes past $4. I'm not kidding. If we see $5 gas, we'll start a war in minutes.... I really hope I'm wrong!

Good planning would have provided a release and alternative to those squeezed out of their car by high gas prices.
