Make me King I know how to fix it

I've noticed that over the last few years when someone says "thank you" sometimes the person they're thanking says "not a problem". Usually now when I say thanks to a server in a restaurant they reply "no problem" or "not a problem" . I know things change. Out with the old, in with the new. But "your welcome" seems much kinder, more polite, less confusing, prettier. "Not a problem". What the hell does a problem have to do with this? I'm thanking you for godsake. There wasn't a problem to begin with. Was there? I've also noticed recently that most people talk about gas prices, and Iraq, and pollution and global warming with the paradigm that we must use up all the oil on the planet. Some want to use it all at our same rate and when we run out a long time from now, well we run out. Others want to conserve oil and "save" our reserves so we can have our cars and heating oil longer. Many feel that even if we have to fight wars we must have this oil or America will perish. The paradigm is that we must run on oil and isn't it a shame that we're running out. Maybe I'm naive, but why can't we just switch the entire Western World over to electric cars (not hybrids) and do it in four years. You simply give a 100% tax credit for each electric car. Nobody will ever again buy anything but an electric car. The gas cars we have now can be recycled for the steel etc. America will not perish if we have electric cars instead of gas cars. A few oil companies may be crying , but that would be great. They are like the tobacco companies. They'll have to diversify or die. But But But the Chinese will still buy the Arab oil!! First of all, so what? Second, No they wont because they're leapfrogging past the "plug in hybrid" (which we don't even have yet unbelievably) straight to the electric vehicle. I went flying today with my friend the Professor. I checked him out in my Cadet Coupe. He did very well and he is a fair and reasonable friend and bought the gas and bought wife and I dinner. It was a nice mid-May day. Want to know the temperature? It was 23 degrees. Gen. Av. Informal
