"...It's a great thing! It's great because it is a state law. The people of Oregon have decided to do this to themselves..."

And if the feds tried to force Oregon have self-serve gas;
And if Oregon resisted the new federal law;
Then historians would call it a rebellion over
the "cause" of self-service gasoline...
(if you catch my drft)

My brain has seen better days.  But, if I had to guess,
most historians writing today would say the rebellion was
radicals resisting the federal government's need to
maintain individual competence in pumping gas rather than
risk having terrorists infiltrate the ranks of fuel dispensers
and stop the critical flow of gasoline at the pump rather
than at the oilfields where they have been stymied by
our efforts in the war on terror.
