kids protest gas prices without cable
Published Jun. 25, 2008SALT LAKE CITY — Sadie and Pyper Vance have had just about enough of high gas prices. The sisters are still years away from being old enough to drive, but that doesn't mean the $4 per gallon price tag isn't hitting them as hard as anyone else.
Cable TV was one of the family's budget-cutting casualties, leaving Sadie, 9, and her 7-year-old sister without their favorite cartoons and shows.
"Gas prices are too high," Sadie said. "I just decided to come and protest so they'd go down."
The girls marched through downtown Monday chanting and carrying signs made from old campaign signs.
"All of my mom's monny goes to the gas tank!" Pyper's sign read. Sadie carried a sign asking drivers to honk to lower gas prices — adding that her mom had to cut "cabel."
The girls got some waves and a few thumbs-up to show support.
"I think it's great," said Hamid Tayeb, who was walking past on his lunch break. "It's unfortunate that kids are doing it before we do."
My problem with this is that these kids need to stop watching cartoons and learn how to spell - My daughter is 5 and can spell 'money' - and who lets Their kids walk through downtown salt lake city? There are mormons out there!!

Yup - but the kids have the TIME to do it. Most adults have to work every day, to pay the durn gas prices. Who has time to protest?? I'm protesting in my mind - does that count?
