Rambles of an old man.
Updated Daily...err weekly. No whenever I feel like it. D:
ID For Gas?
After months and months about rising fuel costs.

On a morning were the headlines are finally all about dropping gas prices.
How can it be on a day like today that I find another reason to be so pissed off at the pump?

Privacy.

A coupe of gas retailers are setting a new dangerous level.
You wanna buy some gas.
You going need to show some ID.


I understand that retailers are also feeling the squeeze with the crazy gas prices these days.
And dirtbags doing the old Pump-n-run trick.
BUT!
This doesn't mean they have a right to violate my right to my privacy.
Just so I can purchase their product.

Pardon me but what reason has the gas industry given me to trust them?
They pretty much jack up prices every time a CEO sneezes.
And they lie to us all the time.

And I'm suppose to trust these donkeys with my personal government issued identification?
I wouldn't trust these pustes as far as I can pump their peek pump petro. (Blah)

And in a time where Identity theft is as easy to commit as buying a new computer.
Forgive me that I don't hand over my credit rating, home address, and my very Identity.
To some jock monkey jumping to the pump for some employer who he hates.
And is looking to rip off because he is only 8 bucks an hour.

I'll make ten trips into booth a to pre-pay for gas before I goto a retailer where they ask for my ID's.
