Now I understand! They are old and live in rolling recreational vehicles that get 7 miles to the gallon, so they have no interest in seeing gasoline prices rise until after they're gone. But we could ALL be gone by then.
[ Rep. Bob Inglis (R-S.C.), once a skeptic of global warming, got a hint that the political winds might be shifting when a longtime supporter warned that he might vote against Inglis if he “didn’t clean up his act on the environment.”...The warning came from Inglis’ eldest son, Robert Jr., now 22...Family pressure worked.
