Considering my limited cognitive ability lately, forgive me if I totally misunderstood your post..My take on this?
Nothing is all good or all bad. $4 gas is really hard right now because unlike you (or me, even), most people have to drive to get to work, to their medical care, etc. That coupled with rising food prices is pushing people to the edge.
Now, the good to this (although it'll be in "the long run" catagory), is that maybe, just maybe, we can push this oil dependent monkey off our backs (no offense, Curious) and start seriously looking at cleaner, healthier forms of energy. I know the "excuse de jour" is that China and India are using oil like crazy and until they get they're acts together, we don't have to either..Lame. We have to start doing our part now. Other countries will see that it's possible and, since most are just at the beginning really of the oil dependent way of life, it will be easier for them to turn this around.
The soap box is now open..
