I have noticed a lot of people pushing cars and carrying gas cans while they are walking down the street. Anyone else notice this too?

The ruined primitive's trying to start something, but it falls flat among the other primitives.

5. They must be pretty dumb
   
with a gas can, you can leave the car there, or leave the gas can in the car while you push it to the station.

6. The last time I saw anybody pushing a car here was last winter in the snow.
   
I've carried a gas can myself this summer when I walked to the station to get gas for my mower.

Alas, no fuel to feed this bonfire on Skins's island.

Ah, it was a nobel attempt to create a phony reality.  It was a miserable failure.  Good try, though.

It is not unusual for me to see or read about stupid people, yourself included.
Other than the top of yer head, what is your point?

I have noticed more people are taking a penny or two,instead of putting change in those change thingies at the convenience stores.

Where I live, we Galt's Gulch-ians don't see much of this kind of stuff.  Intelligent people kinda like to keep an eye on that little ol' gas gauge, especially when the needle falls below the 1/2 tank mark.  My community, also being almost entirely populated with people who are also INDUSTRIOUS as well as intelligent, somehow know without being told by Big Brother (or even Big Brotha, the Obamessiah) that when the needle falls below our own personal comfort level, we pull out MONEY - that stuff we create from the fruit of the sweat of our brows (a term a DUmpMonkey wouldn't be familiar with, I'm sure) - and pay hard-working gas station owners to draw from their supply of gasoline.

Now, where I work, on the outskirts of the People's Republic of Boulder, I see scores of DUmpMonkeys pedaling their toys around on major highways - with all of the risks associated with playing on a street filled with 2 ton vehicles moving at 65 mph - headed off to ??? (I almost said WORK, but I know that this is just one of many 4-letter words that are 'beneath' NeoComs residing in the Boulder branch Worker's Paradise; BATH and COMB being others in a long list of such words.)
