High price of petrolem and inflation is causing hardship to the poor world community. Please share your opinion and how it is affecting your country now. Can street demonstration solve the problem? Is the government is doing enough to help?

is not only "harm" the poor, the middle level is also affected by the high price. and this is harm me country hard..the amount of the peoples whose living under the poor-line increasing significantly. i think demonstration on street not solve these, but i hope the government will give more attention about this demonstrate. all we can do just reduce our power usage and hope this crisis will be end.

..oh gosh.. it really affects us much here in the Philippines.. But i don't think street demonstration can solve the problems because the government isn't listening to their calls.. It would be much better for the people to keep on working hard for their family's survival. I beleive so much in the power of prayer.. that's why I would also add that people need to pray for their government officials in order for them to be enlightened.. Nowadays, politicians seem to think of their own selves and families not remembering what they have promised during their campaigns.. it's very very disappointing..

It isn't the government's responsibility to supply us with gas, however, I think we should be doing more to solve the problem and less to work our way through it.
