For the past week or so I have received no fewer than 50 what I will call Green Notifications. Emails, messages on both FaceBook and Twitter to go green. Make my Twitter and Facebook background green, or wear green of something to support the Iranians. Honest showing you are thinking of them might be a good thought, but will do nothing other than make you feel good. I care, I read the news, I am part of the world.

Tom Friedman in yesterday's NYT had the answer. But then again so did John Anderson almost thirty years ago. We need a tax on gas. Period. Full Stop. Anything less is self destructive.

Read the article yourself, let me what you think, what you are going to do to show your support not just for Iranians but yourself, friends, neighbors and the good old USA.
