For all you Fools who simply refuse to live in the year 2015, I remember extremely long lines at the gas pump while Democrat Jimmy Carter was President. If you really want to live in the past, the economy wasn't that great under Abraham Lincoln. George Washington's troops had no shoes and almost froze to death at Valley Forge.
I do invite all of you who dwell in the past to come forward and join us in November 2015.
As do I, and I remember the gas wars, paying .07 cents a gallon at an ARCO Station near SFSU; and then the oil cartel raised it ugly head, which Jimmy Carter did hot participate in its development. In fact President Carter put solar collectors on the roof of the White House, which btw, Ronald Reagan removed.
Don't try to rewrite history, especially when people like me were alive and aware and experienced the events you and others try to change to fit your agenda. Doing so convinces me you are a fool.
The solar collectors did not stop the long lines at the gas pumps. I was also alive and well. I took the family on a trip to Orlando and ran low on gas in the evening. The pumps at all the stations were locked down. I had to get a motel room and spend the night until the next morning so I could get some gas. The gas stations and the motels literally ripped the travelers off. This wasn't aa gas war. This was a supply shortage.
