The Oil Addict

With the recent sky-high prices of fuel in the United States, many people have complained that the oil companies are raping the economy. While I have no objections to the claim that they are totally taking advantage of us, we Americans have been completely asking for it for years. Ever since the end of the 1970’s Arab Embargo, the US has become a cheap whore, sucking the hydrocarbon tap with ever increasing thirst to get our fix for ever bigger homes and automobiles. With the price now soaring, we are acting like any typical addict and stealing, borrowing, and crying rape; anything to get our next fix!
