Five dollars a gallon.
In some parts of Alaska, that has become the norm for gas. Soon, those prices will make their way toward the mainland, hurting many Americans along its path. Rising food and the luxuries of life will follow, sending many into caution during this "recession".

Darfur.
Dead soldiers.
South Iraq.
Katrina.
The War on Terrorism.
Earthquakes.

100,000 dead.
Cancer.
Myanmar.
10,000 dead.
Israel.
Diabetes.
Global Warming.
Continent-wide hunger.
