Sometimes in life... almost all the time... we do what we have to do so that we can do what we want to do.
We give our heard earned money the Internal Revenue Service so that we can have peace of mind and go about our lives. We work a job that we despise so we can go out later and get blasted or do whatever it is that we like to do. We work a second job so that our kids can go to college and have dental coverage or whatever.
Those who don't do this lead stressful lives because, unless they won the sweepstakes in the gene pool and ended up a son of a rich banker or the president of the United States, then they never do get to do those things that they want to do. And to be honest with you, I think the same principle applies no matter how high you are on the food chain.
What does this have to do with the price of tea in China or the price of fuel in America?
Most people these days are having to work longer hours to buy less and make sacrifices including spend less time on their activities that they want to do because the price of fuel is getting factually prohibitive, not to mention that one now has to pay $10 to see an 80 minute flick!
So what is it that one has to do if one wants to be able to do what one wants to do(?)
One has to get creative and be courageous.
It is not only the hard workers that survive.
In fact, many times the hard workers don't survive so well. It is an unfair time we live in.
But survival has a lot to do with intelligence, awareness, power of observation and being willing to take chances or step outside of the mold that society creates for us.
Just because your dad, and his dad before him knew that if they wanted to drive a car then they needed to have fuel in their gas tank does not mean that it is still true.
There are other options.
There is such a thing as cultural lag and sometimes even the most intelligent and sanest of ideas don't get picked up in the main stream for years or even generations... just ask Presidential Candidate Ron Paul! He has been beating on the same drum about foreign policy, sound monetary policy, the Federal Reserve, the Constitution, small government, etc for over 20 years as a Congressman and now, all of a sudden, he is an overnight political sensation and folk hero.
Anyway, here is a suggestion on how you can economize on fuel and get to do the things that you want to do.
Fully or partially convert your fuel engine to a hydrogen engine! If you make a partial conversion you might get 30% fuel mileage . If you do a full conversion then you are looking at never having to pay a penny or pump a fuel pump for as long as you live. This is something that you have to do if you want to more easily be able to do what you want to do.
