More than $1... More Than 10 Years

 Hello readers, this is an update to this Blog.

I recently visited this same gas station during June 2014, and 

needless to say the price of gasoline is still amazing to me. Although the price in Upstate South Carolina was .68 cents cheaper than in Brooklyn new york for one gallon of regular unleaded gasoline, it is still quite a whopper or a price to pay considering many people earn just $8 working per hour.

Only 12 gallons for $40.

I remember just like it was yesterday filling up my tank paying less than $1 (ONE DOLLAR) for gasoline. When the price went above a dollar I was astonished at the price and I took this photograph. 

I never believed that the price was permanent. I even thought that the WAR in Iraq would benefit the USA and make gasoline even cheaper because surely we would win the WAR, and control the oil fields and become oil rich and domestic prices would drop dramatically because of our invasion and our victory. 
WOW... World Order Wrong! 
I believed that our leaders were going to make the USA the most powerful nation in the world and that the citizens here would have more economic benefits after invading oil rich Iraq.
WOW... World Order Wrong!!
It seemed clear to me that if we defeated an oil rich nation whose dictator leader was the true axis of evil that we would become victorious winners and gain oil in reward for our courage, strength, and righteous military might. Since we were liberating the poor people under a terrible dictator, surely they would be very anxious to reward us with an abundant wealth of oil to thank us!
WOW... World Order Wrong!!!
Now that it's been longer than ten years and the price that escalated during the WAR remains escalated, I have come to my senses and realize that my concepts were misconceptions. I have lost the delusional idea that "winning" or "defeating" or "conquering" another nation would reward our nation with the spoils of victory. We are just as defeated as the nations we have had WAR with. The New World is out of Order and we were WRONG!
Since then we have started movements for freedom from tyranny but to no avail. 

I now truly understand the meaning of this scripture:

Ephesians 6:12

King James Version (KJV)

¹² For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
