Hey Tod74, I hear you. It's an adjustment... the guy who steals for gas & ends up dead or in murder/jail is stupid & has lost his marbles. He can ride a BIKE or take the bus for crying out loud!! Hell, my kid has a 5hp 2stroke scooter that probably gets 60 miles to the gal... I can ride that if I am desparate. I will not steal or kill for gas... this kind of man is clearly unstable like the drug addict is for the next hit. DOES EVERYONE REMEMBER "Y2K"???? SILLY... these are trying times, but not desparate times yet. I don't want to offend anyone, but if you are a Christian (I hope you are) you know that God will pull us through this. Have faith, it will all work out. There is nothing God can't handle... he is bigger than the Arabs, Obama & the common criminals who don't know him. I have guns (& bows), but I HUNT with them. Otherwise, they are locked up away from my small kids. Granted, I live in Oregon where the crime rate is probably lower than NY, but I am not threatend by these fools... nor am I scared.
