They took Iraq to keep down supply to increase demand and profits for Ali Babba Saudi. Very simple really. And they all profer. Must have really tricked them off no major hurricanes this year to blame on price rises around labor day, fourth of July. Unprecendented! I hate 'em all. But it's winter now, and they will bleed us every way they can. GRRRR.

Does anyone else remember when gas hit 2 dollars a gallon? People were outraged and demanding an investigation into it. Bush even gave a press confrence and said that he was going to look into it and try to keep prices down for everyone. I don't remember any sort of resolution to that press confrence.

Fight Apathy.... or not

Oh ya former op. Remember that real well. Congress brought the oil company CEO's up to the bench for review, but they refused to do so under oath so it was all bluster. Meaning nothing. Ya 'I' remember. Only goes to show ya Congress/Senate are a bunch of anemic shwartzes with big fat pac money in their fat little drippy keesters . Endeered by Bush and his cronies.

How on Earth did America's OIL get under Iraq's sand any way?
Its plain ludicrous...

And the Iraqi's? what an incompitent bunch...

'' i heard this joke on tv last night, and loved it ''

Hey Ag, good point. I am so clueless on the whole pnt thing. But how do your get 11k in the hole on bts pnts? Not that pnts really concern me with my huge keyboard hole and such. But I do care about decorum, and I'm trying.

I remembered when I first moved back to florida in 97-98 gas was under a dollar(barely). Then I remember when I first started driving, beginning of 2000, it was at 1.25-1.30. So in 10 years time it's gone up 200%.

Does anyone notice that on the news they always pointed out, well if we compare this to the 70's oil crisis it would have to hit $95 a barrel, with inflation etc. Hmm now they stopped that, SUPRISE!

It is so manipulated DJ. WE, are so manipulated. Our surplus, haa, if any money is manipulted. Recession, surely not. LOL. Not laughing tho.

Wouldn't it feel a bit more comfortable having an automobile running on biodiesel fuels???? This is my plan. And moving on from there, converting other useful mechanics to diesel engines using biodiesel. It can't be too difficult.

My curiosities in oil now focus on the market. Bush doesn't have much longer in his term. If we go into Iran it should be quite soon. If this happens the oil spout once again is turned to the left, causing an estimated $200/barrel. Investing in oil would be an alright move it seems, but in the bigger picture, this high of oil prices will create a deep recession and then a depression in which oil prices will be put to shame by that of gold. It is so obvious to me the inevitable soon stock market crash in America. Look at gold prices historically! Gold is betting on market failure. I think this upcoming week we'll see gold go back over $800/ounce.

Any of you thought of using a biodiesel automobile?

the price of oil has gone up 300% since Bush has take n office. 300%!!
