[quote user="vsmith"] <div>-</div><div>I always get this same aurgument from the rural contingient. I live in the urban-suburban zone, where MOST of the country lives and we get a very different perspective of who drives what...</div>[/quote]Don't forget where ya'll get your food.  We in ruralopolis are the ones who work the 16 hour days to feed you folks in urbania.  Come to think of it, we're the ones sending you all that cheap hydro electricity as well.And what do we get for our efforts?  A bunch of jaded third world wannabes who want to legislate away our pickups and breach our dams.Looks like ya'll are getting the better of that deal, huh?  How about you folks in urbania try and be self sustaining for a change?  Guess how long that'll last?  You can't grow what you eat, you can't even begin to produce what you consume.  Yet you have the *expertise* to tell us what and how to function!  The opposition to drilling in ANWR et al comes from urbania, not from ruralopolis.  The push for those idiotic CAFE standards come from urbania, not ruralopolis.  The demand for mandated renewable standards comes from urbania, not ruralopolis.  Oxymoronic statements like "Support our troops, oppose the war" comes from urbania, not ruralopolis.  Washington Senator Maria Cantwell standing in from of a windmill and proclaiming "These windmills will help reduce our dependence on foreign oil!" [banghead]  Yep, the same MC who opposes increased domestic hydrocarbon development.  And apparently she's of the majority in the Senate on that little tidbit of oxymojo!Please understand this - We complain of high fuel prices not due to that little misperception of yours, but because we know intuitively that it is unnecessary if we simply are allowed to develop out own energy resources we have at hand within our own borders.Democracy cannot survive if a majority of the voting public is that mentally addled.  Too bad our Founding Fathers didn't hard wire a requirement for minimal cognitive abilities for genuine US citizens before one is allowed the priveledge of voting, let alone the sacred honor of public service.  Pretty much anyone with a heartbeat can do either these days!PS - You're right:  I don't use my pickup for work related travel, it's strictly for show and comfort.  But it does come in handy once in a while to buck a snowdrift or two!
