LZ Granderson - America, get real about the high cost of cheap gas

There is a Greek proverb I wish every elected federal and state official would recite before starting any talks about our energy policies and challenges: "A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in."

In other words, the strength of our nation is dependent upon leaders who are able to see beyond the country's immediate needs.

Right now, we need lower gas prices.

And unfortunately, that's all our leaders choose to see.

much more.. http://www.cnn.com/2011/OPINION/05/17/granderson.oil.dependency/index.html?on.cnn=1
