Bush Doubles Oil Price and other stories, fact and fiction Summary
| "Bush Doubles Oil Price" is a compilation of articles, essays, letters and poems, asking the question, "What ethical basis do we want for our government?" Aaron's answer is unwavering and strong. One character says, "No lie is immoral if it brings us to follow what we are instructed by God." The author answers with a four letter word, "Ouch." Wars and genocides start with those words. No more grave than our newspaper headlines, this character's words are, yes, deadly. It is the author's opinion that we can do better than this. Perhaps you have heard of Lili Putian. Lili lives in the book, "Bush Doubles Oil Price." Trapped in the fictional coutry of Nacirema, Lili survives her "emotionally undersized" people in the story of "Lili Putian," subtitled "Gulliver's Travels Updated." Lili bites deeply into the harsh culture of Fundamentalists who run the morally backwards country of Nacirema. Worse than a tax increase, the oil price increase hits you where it hurts, causing day-to-day life to be more costly. SUVs have proliferated since 2000 amd national oil consumption has actually increased 16%, which means we pay more to drive the same distance. For someone in, say, a WalMart-style job earning $320 .00 per week, with no benefits, they would take home $56.00 per day. Driving to work would cost more than they could afford. And with limited or nonexistent public transportation, whose funding is increasingly cut each year, what other options exist? |
