Well, i was looking at an old news archive from 2000, when the Hauliers Association in the UK blockaded oil refineries in a mass protest against high oil prices, being made worse by the amount of tax government adds to it to create the price we pay on the forecourt.
That got me thinking.................
If enough people protest, and in a sufficiently noticable way, then change has to be enacted. the smoking ban, high taxes, high commodity prices when are we going to stop the governmants of our respective countries taking us for granted, we have let this go far enough and the time for action is now upon us.
here is where it starts, leading towards a GLOBAL protest, peaceful protest is our right, and its time we used it.
please get back to me with pledges of support and then I can work with people and come back with a detailed plan of how this is going to work, the key will be everyone, spreading the word, telling people of this post so we can make our voices finally heard!!!!!!!
A website will follow, i look forward to hearing ALL feedback, negative and positive, thank you for reading.

I've always wondered how a private corporation, designed to
run for profit
, can be trusted to supply such an essential commodity to the world.
The earth, the sun, the sky, the water, AND THE OIL are
humanity's birthright.
Why does oil
belong
to corporations?
If the whole of humanity can be compared to a living organism, then oil would be its lifeblood. But you cannot sacrifice the heart, lungs, or any other organ of the body to pay provisions to the blood without killing the entire organism.
Prices this high are going to eventually kill every working system mankind has built.
This could get real ugly if the problem isn't addressed honestly, and remedied soon.

exactly, it needs a joint effort globally to end governments adding 45% tax on top.

Wall Street has gamed the system to keep oil prices high despite increased domestic production.
