About me- I was absent

I am a high school student doing the blog for a class. I 'm supposed to find out three critical issues in the world that I think are problem in today's society. I feel that the three most important issues that make me angry are not paying soldiers for their duties, gas prices, and disrespect towards other people. One may think that our armed forces are not as important as other people, these people are keeping us free. The gas prices are a killer! The price of gas is changing everyone lives for the worse, with higher gas prices there are higher prices for everything else! Why gas prices so high? Because environmentalists want to raise it so less people will drive. Maybe if gas prices aren't so high we wouldn't have a problem paying our troops. I drive to work, I drive a truck. If it is going to cost me around $80 for a tank of gas then what am I really making at work? Gas money? I work so I can drive I don't get paid enough to go someplace else just enough so i can drive from home to school to work to home. Finally what gets me mad is a situation I saw the other day. An older man holding two cases of water stepped behind a young man in a suit to check out. The young man left the line and answered his cell phone line moved up the older man was next, you can tell he was getting tired of holding those two cases but he was strong and still held his composure. When the old man went up to the counter to check out the young man came up and turned and said "excuse me I was here" Maybe I am crazy but this guy wanted a pack of gum and cigarettes he couldn't wait for the old man to get what he wanted and relax his arms? He stepped out of line. It got me fired up and all I could do was watch the old man take a step back and apologize.
