CalCon poster The Gentle Cricket thinks its really cool to waste gas, time and blood to drive across the country. How fitting; a drive-a-thon from San Francisco to Washington DC to support our troops fighting for our right to the oil under Iraq's sand. When we're beginning to understand the concept of blood for oil, it is only appropriate that support would be shown in a manner consistent with the rationale behind the war.
Assuming that the average passenger vehicle gets 22 miles per gallon, the shortest route is 2840 miles, that's 129 gallons of gas, minimum. Since the war is ongoing, we don't yet know the ratio of blood lost to barrel of oil, but in a perverse sense, wasting gas like this actually pushes the ratio lower, i.e., fewer soldiers killed per gallon of gas burned.
Wow, not only supporting the troops, but rubbing the ol' thumb in the eye of global warming alarmists. Well done!
