Return Of The 70s

The young have the advantage of not knowing, or caring about the past. If you were around for Democrat president Jimmy Carter, then you remember the gas rationing, long lines to get your allotment, and the high prices. If not, you should read about the misery caused by Jimmy Carter. Skip Wikipedia. real history has been papered over by the leftists ... News sources may be reliable, but hate to say it, but a good high quality encyclopedia might be the best source of facts.
Police said the woman parked her car on Aldrin Road Monday night with about three-quarters of a tank of gas.

The tank was empty when she returned to the car about 1 p.m. Tuesday. When she filled it up again, the gas ran out through three holes drilled into the tank, police said.

“This is like back in the gas crisis in the ’70s,” Plymouth Capt. Michael Belmont said. “Only then they used siphons.”
And that's how it was, you garaged your car at night, lest the night stalkers would come through the neighborhood and empty every tank in sight. Not pretty to get up in the morning and expect your five gallon ration would still be there and the tank was empty. Civilized society takes ages to build up, the norms of behavior take a while to get established -- But civilized society fails spectacularly fast. The essence of civilized society, teaching 'civics' in school, which has now for the most part been replcaed by teaching the propaganda of global warming.
