With the rise in unemployment and sharp increases in gas, heating oil, and food, I think there are a lot of people this fall who will be able to relate with Merle Haggard’s “If We Make It Through December.”

Gas Crisis, The gas crisis is a total mess all over the place. This is what I just experienced today approximately 2:30 pm at Kroger, 3700 Salem Road Covington, Ga. After waiting over 20 minutes in line to pump gas, a very rude Negro gentleman in a late model silver volkswagon jetta with a drive out tag came from the back of the line in pulled up to the pump in front of over 8 cars that were waiting in line before I drove up; he cut in line and pumped his gas and left. Kroger had customer service attendants directing the traffic at the pumps. I told one of them what happened and pointed him out and nothing was done. I stated to her if you all can’t control this call the Newton County Sheriff’s Department out to let them handle it. Nothing was done about this man doing this. To this rude gentleman that done this, I hope every drop of your gas drains out of your tank onto the ground and that you get stranded somewhere. It was not fair for you to do this to the people that had been waiting. I wasn’t even concerned about myself but for the people that were waiting far longer than I. We as a race of people are always screaming and yelling about what’s not fair, how do you think those people felt when you jumped in line in front of them? That was a real civilized thing for you to do….not…..So you rude blk bas…I hope you have a great day and that you make it in life acting the way you did today. Please stop emberassing your race like that. This is not the time to act like that; after all that we have been through and this country is going through now. Please don’t act like this, stop it and stop now. People have fought and died for you to get where you are now. Just think about it and act like the civilized gentleman that you could be.

Hey Linda, Don’t you know he feels entitled to do this after all “the white man has held him down”….if you think it’s bad now with the entitlements and the way a man like that acts just wait til Osama is elected. A good song for now is “Calling on Angels”.

Atlanta rapper Young Jezzy released an entire album theme around this recession titled (appropriately) “The Recession”. “Circulate” is a great song off that cd. Even the rappers are feeling the pinch.

Wow you must have very empty lives that you can turn every topic into some petty racial name-calling forum.

For me it’s The O’Jays - For the Love Money. Most people will know it as the theme from Trump’s The Apprentice.

I agree with Crystal! But not on her song suggestion…during hard times I listen to Dylan, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Leonard Cohen, Led Zeppelin, Joni Mitchell. But that’s what I listen to anyway. :)

From your playlist I pick It’s Like That by Run DMC. Another one of their songs that would be good is Hard Times. I also like a few suggestion here: Working at the car wash blues, and Under Pressure!!
