Change vs. More of the Same?
So this morning at the gas station, I'd pulled up next to a garbage truck at the disel pump. I'm fueling the neon, and the guy filling up the garbage truck starts talking to me:

Garbage Truck Driver: "Shit! I sure am glad the boss man's picking up the tab on this one!"
Me: "Yeah, I know, I filled up last week and it was like $2.05, and now it's almost twenty cents higher."
GBT: "I know man, gettin' to be so's you can't even drive no-where no-more."
Me: "Well, I guess that what happens when our country is under the thumb of giant, mega-conglomerate oil corporations."
GBT: "Man, they say they're American oil companies, but they're all owned by other countries now."
Me: "Uh..."
GBT: "Oh yeah, you didn't know that shit? Man, I got a buddy who works for FINA, and they're owned by the french."
Me: "Well..."
GBT: "It's getting to be like Americans don't own nothin' these days"

I just got back in my car and left. It's that kind of staunch nationalism that's really going to keep this country together.
