Maybe a good result?

While it’s a horrible way to have had it happen, maybe the Katrina caused gas crisis which seems to be striking the areas around Katrina will make the country pause to consider whether we really need to be buying Hummers. Or a Lincoln Navigator, which is bigger than my first apartment was (and probably more expensive).

I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure it was the gas crisis in the seventies which led to the influx of Hondas and other small, fuel efficient cars. I’m old enough to remember waiting in line for gas (though not old enough to remember how much it cost).
