Went to the gas station this morning and had the oddest thought, that I was actually happpy to be paying two cents a gallon less than I did last week.
With gas over $3.00 a gallon, why would I feel that way?
It’s because I’m a sheeple. And, what is a sheeple you ask?
A sheeple is a capitalist consumer.
A capitalist consumer knows that in a capitalistic society, such as ours, a person can strive to become rich by selling items at what the market will bare.
Now, having said this and knowing that despite the cost of oil per the barrel is high, and also knowing that oil companies are making record profits and giving huge bonuses to their CEO’s, we sheeples do nothing, because we are capitalists first and sheeples second.
We have chosen this type of government and this system of free enterprise due to all the other freedoms it affords us.
However, there is no reason why us sheeples cannot rise up against the oil companies and the government that helps to prop up these costs with taxes and say that we have finally had enough. The old flaming torches and pitch forks didn’t die with the middle ages. They were just replaced by lawyers. Well, us sheeples know lawyers don’t work, so it’s time to appear in front of the capitals, representative offices, and oil companies with torches and pitch forks once again.
If the only thing that these people understand is war, then let’s give them one.
