(38,958 posts)1. Depends upon what you define as "people"
Many of us have questioned it for decades. Jimmy Carter was spot on, however it seems that he wasnt taken as seriously as perhaps he should have been.

They're only more willing to accept it currently out of outrage towards Russia. And I am still seeing plenty of whining about it and demands that we get more oil from somewhere else

that they believe is their god given right? Seems to me they are instead complaining about expensive gas. What led you to your conclusion?

built our world around it.
