I just read a couple of articles on CNN.com about the high price of gas, and what, if anything, we can do about it. You won't learn anything there that's going to save you money at the pump. There's only one way to lower gas prices. And there's only one person that you can anything about it. It's you.

You have to stop using it. That's all there is to it. The government can't do anything about gas prices - and they're proving it. The only way to reduce gas prices is to reduce demand. And when you stop using it, the reward to your wallet is immediate. And when we all stop using it, the prices drop down to where we want them to be.

Giving up gasoline won't be easy. We're all addicted to it. And if you don't break the habit soon, the habit will break you. You can make smart choices that will significantly reduce your consumption without drastically changing your lifestyle. But you will have to make some sacrifices, and I don’t just mean buying less of other things so you can buy more gas!

Park the boat this summer. Then park the SUV. Buy a scooter - they get incredible gas mileage! Carpool. Ride the bus. Best bet - RIDE A BICYCLE! Using no gas is the best of all choices.

If you seriously can't make any of these choices work because of real life limitations, not self-imposed lifestyle choices - buy a Hybrid! But reduce your consumption, and do it today. When we all reduce our consumption, we all win. And we all see lower prices at the pump.

Here's how I've reduced my fuel bill:

Official Announcement

The United States Government announced today that it is changing its emblem from an Eagle to a Condom because it more accurately reflects the government's political stance.

A Condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks, and gives you a sense of security while you're actually being screwed!

Damn, it just doesn't get more accurate than that!

One solution to the high price of gas would be to deport 11 million illegal immigrants! That would be 11 million less people using our gas. The demand for gas would be reduced, so the price of gas would also be reduced.

Bring our troops home from Iraq to guard the Border. When they catch an illegal immigrant crossing the border, hand him a canteen, rifle and some ammo and ship him to Iraq. Tell him if he wants to come to America then he must serve a tour in the military .

Give him a soldier's pay while he's there and tax him on it. After his tour, he will be allowed to become a citizen since he defended this country. He will also be registered to be taxed and be a legal patriot. If they refuse to serve, ship them to Iraq anyway; without the canteen, rifle or ammo.

There you have it: A solution to deter illegal immigration; bring our troops home from both Iraq and Afghanistan; and lower gas prices all at the same time.

Problem solved. Why is this stuff so difficult for the politicians to figure out?
