New I'm not the only one seeing the cycle
[link|http://www.cleveland.com/news/plaindealer/dick_feagler/index.ssf?/base/opinion/1147509011181800.xml&coll=2|Feagler] (You'll need to enter a zip code, birth year and gender.)
Things happen, and then they happen all over again.

We call it news and often put it on the front page. But news is always just an old story, recycled.

We write about the shortage of gas and oil and alternative fuels. We write about finding a new way to do away with gas-guzzling cars. It's the same stuff we were writing about in the '70s. Except now it's now, and now it's worse.

...

And now representatives of both political parties are braying the same song they brayed 30 years ago.

Thirty years ago.

In those 30 years, we have ignored alternative energy. We are still scrabbling for oil in the Middle East. No one from either party has freed us from oil. In the meantime, Brazil has figured out a way to run cars on fuel made from sugar cane. And we're left holding Splenda.

And now, it's Groundhog Day again. We have an oil crisis - again. The congressmen are talking about alternative fuels - AGAIN.

And nothing much is going to happen - AGAIN.
There's one thing he's wrong about, though. Something is going to happen. We're going to pass some more laws to keep the price of gas down. We're going to build further out into the ... gosh I guess we'll need another name past "exurbs". Then we're going to bitch some more about the horrible commute.

That burb of New York called Los Angeles?

Or is that The burb of Los Angeles called New York.

Oh wait you are complaining about the Ferry, so it has to be the burb of Los Angeles called Honolulu.
