Gas Prices
Gas has reached $3.00 a gallon. Where is the outcry from the media? Seems a few months ago, before the elections, there was mass histeria about gas maybe reaching $3.00. What's going on now. It keeps climbing, I don"t here any news at all about what is the government going to do to stop the gouging from BIG OIL. Oh wait the Democrats are in charge now. Do you think there might be some media bias? I'm intersted in any thoughts.

The corporate world has evolved into the notion that unless there is profit, there is no need to perform any service. I believe that since Exxon and other oil companies are among the richest corporations in America and the world, they should rely on performing their duty to the American public by giving efficient gas prices. If they can't get their oil supplied as cheap as they want, tough ****, people lose out on money, but something as necessary to our modern lives as oil and gasoline, these things can't be inflating as rapidly as they are and still remain in control. The government allows this to go on because they have a very nice tax on gasoline, and they'd like to enjoy the luxury of extra free money into their pocket with a hole larger than the American public's *******s. Things need to be seriously regulated if we're already living in the socialist society that we are, they need to either own up to the full freedoms that were given at the foundation of the country or admit the turn to socialism in economic and political America.

Regulation
Santabot, once again you miss my point. This is not about regulation of any business. I'm asking the question about the media and the democrats. If you would quit smoking dope and dropping acid for a couple of days maybe you could see what's going on around you. This is a global economy now. China and India are enjoying more economic freedom than ever before, and they are major players in the consumption of petrolium know. The media failed to report this when they were building histeria a few months ago.

awareness
That's my point Pocahontis. There is not even a back page article. We were seeing what it was in California compared to us and the rest of the nation. I don't have a clue what it is in CA. right now, go figure.

My question to you and others is: Does the price of oil have an influence over your driving decisions of the day? Have you down sized your vehicle?

Not being negative, just encouraging. Let's speak out together, make a message heard where it may even be unpopular.

You know, it's been my experience that driving a 6 cylinder Buick Century is considerably more affective than driving a giant 4WD truck that gets 11mpg OR *****ing about the rising cost of gas.
Just some friendly blood pressure advice. |
