I Think I'm Too Young to Be Thinking About This Kind of Stuff

So as of late, there have been numerous catastrophic events occurring. Gas prices increasing, terrorism supposedly increasing, tensions between rival countries amounting at a Sonic-The-Hedgehog-quick rate; imagine anything that you fear that the world wouldn't be able to resolve, and it's happening. Oh boy! Everyone loves their fair share of turmoil and despair.
So, here I am, willing to take my PRECIOUS (but with no monetary value) time to list off the things that are topics for controversy, and my opinion on what the solutions should be.

Rising Gas Prices: They affect us all.
They truly do. I myself drive a 2004 Toyota Solara V6. Yes, a V6. I get around 16-17 miles to the gallon on every gas I pump into my painstakingly red car. I myself don't drive as often as much as you people out there, who have to commute several times a day on a regular basis just to scrape together the day's plate of mash and biscuits for dinner, but I also feel the pain. I once believed as a kid that 40 dollars was a wondrous amount of money to possess, but now it has become my weekly fee for required transportation. The solution is quite obvious; start investing into other channels of transportation, such as PUBLIC transportation. For around a dollar, I can get a ride, albeit longer, around the entire city! BART is even more convenient, whizzing me along the Bay in a manner of minutes. By golly, I'll buck up and take a seat next to the freak on the bus (there's always one, isn't there?) who dressed himself up as a cowboy as if it was the most natural dress set in the world if it meant that I would save money in the long run. Or go buy a hyrbrid Prius. They're actually quite nice, besides the whole 70 horsepower thing. But unless you plan on burning rubber in a desperate attempt to cling onto your fleeting moments of youth by putting the gas down on some Asian kids with souped up import cars on the freeway, then that shouldn't really matter. Personally, I'm going to wait till 2008 for one of those new Prius's; rumor has it that they can go 100 mpg. I'll kill 25 llamas, rip out their hearts, and feed them to little kids under the tutelage of the devil himself for 100 mpg.
