Why are commuters rioting over fuel prices?

You'd think that people would accept the price of a non food commodity. After all if the government subsidizes it the money has to come from somewhere like higher taxes which unfairly burden those who make wiser choices. So why are people upset enough to riot over high fuel costs?

Because planner have designed choice out of their lives. Government is responsible for bad planning that focused only on roads in the last thirty years. The oil shocks of the 70s were not a warning but a invitation to jump into bed with the Saudis- Bush even calls Prince Bandit his brother. And ultimately people are stupid enough to follow a bad example- Paris Hilton need I say more.

The problem is that policy associations like CCAG highlight the problems with conventional thinking in design- Place your foundation on the basis of the available fuel source, not what is sustainable. Why conserve resources for future generations when Cherney is around to ship our children for cheap oil to Iraq? Why build like Reagen when Jerry Brown forecast an era of limits? Because it was free and who doesn't want to look like a hero dolling out a free lunch.
