this country will NOT adapt to $10 gas, I can pretty much guarantee that. some of us (including most people here I can imagine) will, most of us won't. the majority of people in this country will be stepping on each other like roaches when push comes to shove.
They won't have a choice...they will either adapt or suffer. What is amazing to me is the knee jerk reaction of most people to the cost of fuel. People need to get a grip and realize that having everday low prices and cheap fuel, as well as a lifestyle supported by it IS NOT A RIGHT and it is going to be taken away.
