To the editor:
Isn’t it interesting. The same people who fret about “the nanny state” and lecture others about personal responsibility are the very ones complaining the loudest about high gas prices and the mortgage crisis.
These folks consider any sort of spending on anything for the common good to be soft-headed and stupid. But now that their trophy houses and gas-guzzlers have become costly and inconvenient for them, they’re the first ones demanding government assistance.
Hey Mr. SUV, nobody put a gun to your head and forced you to buy that 10 MPG tank you roll to work each day. Nobody forced you to buy that McMansion 40 miles from the office, either. If you’re giving all your money to Big Oil, you’re simply reaping the consequences of your own actions . . . right? Right?
Consider this a little lesson in personal responsibility.
