Sadie and Pyper Vance have had just about enough of high gas prices. The sisters are still years away from being old enough to drive, but that doesn't mean the $4 per gallon price tag isn't hitting them as hard as anyone else.
Cable TV was one of the family's budget-cutting casualties, leaving Sadie, 9, and her 7-year-old sister without their favorite cartoons and shows.
"Gas prices are too high," Sadie said. "I just decided to come and protest so they'd go down."
The girls marched through downtown Monday chanting and carrying signs made from old campaign signs.
"All of my mom's monny goes to the gas tank!" Pyper's sign read. Sadie carried a sign asking drivers to honk to lower gas prices -- adding that her mom had to cut "cabel."
The girls got some waves and a few thumbs-up to show support.
"I think it's great," said Hamid Tayeb, who was walking past on his lunch break. "It's unfortunate that kids are doing it before we do."
I guess we are still a long way from food riots.

Maybe they will discover things like fresh air, climbing a tree, and chasing bugs.

I can remember when cartoons only came Sat. morning. We also only had three channels and no remote (well if you don't count my little brother). As soon as breakfast was over, we RAN outside and mom had to drag us back in at dark.

And mimosa blossoms filled the air,
We skipped down to the county fair,
It wasn't luck,
We lived a time without a care,
With bees a-buzzin' round our hair,
But what the f*ck.....
