Oregon vs. Gas

As if we don't have bigger things to worry about, Orgean is freaking out about having to pump their own gas. It all started on January 1st when a new law was passed saying that the people of Orgean can and will pump their own gas. The thing is, it's not at all gas stations, only stand-alone gas stations with 40,000 residents or less. A local news station KTVL did a poll to see how the Oregonians felt about the law, the poll showed that many were not happy. One Oregonian, in particular, said "Many people are not capable of knowing how to pump gas and the hazards of not doing it correctly. Besides, I don't want to go to work smelling of gas when I get it on my hands or clothes. I agree very bad idea." There were many other comments adding on to that about how it is a bad idea. So, in other words, the other 48 states that pump their own gas and manage to not get it all over themselves and avoid hazardous things from happening, that's okay according to the Oregonians. But they forbid to be seen pumping their own gas. So, the rest of the states will continue to pump their own gas and Oregonians will continue fighting for someone to do it for them.
