LOL!!!!

The only way to escape taxes and rising oil prices is death! Seems a little extreme, doesn't it?

I guess we'll just have to cope, at least for now.

Awww......don't feel guilty, I don't.

I keep telling my kids that I intend to leave the biggest, best carbon footprint I possibly can...complete with every indulgence available. LOL!

Truly, I don't think they will ever see the sort of thing we saw in the 70s, with long lines around the block for gas, at inflated prices. The "energy crisis," brought to us by our favorite president, Jimmy Carter. That whole thing was laughable at best.

We had "odd or even" days in Los Angeles. If your license plate ended in even number you went M-W-F and odd you could fill up T-TH-Sat. What floored me is that it was all so fake. I don't believe there really was a real shortage, it was just the stupid embargo the president put in place to try to show them...oh, and he showed them, LOL!

What they saw was all of us on the nightly news, lined up, waiting to buy gas! If those Middle Easterners didn't know it before, they sure found out that they had us, forgive the pun, under a barrel.

So, what are we showing them today? I think we are showing them how stupid we are by paying upwards of $3.45 or so for a gallon of gas.

In truth, all of our businesses rely on oil, more specifically, fuel. It's just a gotta have it that we truly gotta have to keep America moving.

What WE need is to create a grassroots movement to wake up Congress and free up ANWR for drilling. It's our only hope, and WE own it!

Look, the residents of Alaska don't care, they get paid royalties from oil profits that run through the pipeline every year, every resident. Google it and get the full sto

Pegasus.....

Agree to a point, good leadership might change things, but we are still looking at politicians here and that means games.

I would love to see the Middle East go back to "the camel age!" As long as they know we need a product they produce, that just isn't happening.

As compassionate a person as I believe I am, I have very little care or concern about the people in the Middle East. I hate to be judgmental and stereotype people, but they seem to be ruthless, scheming and dishonest, and quite literally, they stink. Apparently, daily personal hygiene is not at the top of the list with that population.

They [the government and people in Middle Eastern countries] are responsible for killing our young men and women in our Armed Forces, killing 3000 innocent people on Sept 11th and now for crippling our economy! These people ARE NOT our friends.

Talk about scum....there it is.

Hey Cookie!

My, my, that is rather racist. I am sure you would change your mind if you had a few friends there. Nonetheless, cultural differences can be a big hurdle in understanding and appreciating people. I don't think I would be well liked over there.

As for oil, I see nothing wrong with them charging a lot of money for it, especially when the supply is dwindling. We would do the same.

I don't think drilling in Alaska will make any difference in the long run. We'll prolly drill it all out in just a few years anyway.

My opinion of people in general is that they are obstinate and selfish. As Gammies said, we have seen this coming for years and yet here we are today still trying to ignore the problem. It's only when things affect us directly that we start to care.

I'll bet if gas were cheap, but oil supplies were sure to run out next year, we would drive even more. As a matter of fact, I believe we would use fuel at a massive rate, since it seems to be human nature to grab and hoard rather than share.

"Better get it while you can."
"Enjoy it before it's all gone."
"If I don't use it someone else will."

That's too bad. I was waiting for a cure. LOL
