And this mentality is why ...

Comment comment by VnutZ on 30 August 2007

... America cannot free itself of oil dependence. When "it looks pretty" takes precedence you know our society is pampered and spoiled.

RE: And this mentality is why ... by gheorghe :: NR5

Thank you, Vnutz, for your comment. My intended 2-page rant on Vanity Fair in America would have been taken personally, coming from a foreigner. As your gas-price analysis indicates, it is safe to assume that Americans do not realize how spoiled they are. When it comes to the United States, I am not concerned about a recession, really, because I know when the average family spends thousdands of dollars on frivolities (one of the advantages of affluence, I guess), then there is plenty of room for adjustment. The trouble is when one wants to maintain a certain life style. Then I will just go ahead and buy more stock in all major credit card companies.
