1)Yes, prices have gone up due to the conflict. What did they do the previous ten years?
2)I never claimed everything was awful there, so again, yo are reaching, and deflecting.
3)You are still missing the point on gas pricing, and I do not wish to go any further on it. You have proven you dont get my point.
4)A car is a luxury. You could get where you needed to be without one. You have just been so heavily indoctrinated as to think you cant live without one.
1. Prices have went slowly up, not 4 cents overnight. That's a very steep change. Of course fuel will get to $5, but, if things were they way they were, it wouldn't happen until probably late 2012.
2. You never did, but you act like he is terrible. I can't say the same...
3.Okay, fine, I'll completely stop talking about the gas prices.
4. So okay, a car is a luxury, I'll give you that. I just want to know how I'll get to places without one. You know, we don't have public transit over this way and it's a 30 drive to work. Not including the stores I have to go to, which are still a good drive. So tell me, how do I accomplish tasks without a car when I live in the country?
1) Are you sure about that? Or is it just that they leveled off for a couple of years so you have forgotten the last time we saw the exact same type of spikes??
2)No, I dont 'act like he is terrible'. I was asked a direct question, I gave a direct and factual answer. You are the one taking leaps in logic here.
3)Good.
4)Let's think about this for a second. Why is it that you feel you must travel to work? Did you choose to live in the country, based on the luxury of being able to drive 30 miles to work?
1. I don't ever remember gas going up 4 cents overnight, at least in my lifetime...

I keep hearing folks saying that the Libyan majority supports Quadaffi. The rebels will fail, and only serve to run up gas prices.

Your article claims that Ghadaffi used a tactical nuke given to him by Israel
However, more rational news sources have reported this to be the result of the Libyans bombing a key rebel's arm cache.

I am 15, myself, and unfortunately God isn't with me.
My car doesn't guzzle gas. I own a Hyundai Elantra. Also, I'm vegan.
And it's not like I'm materialistic, I'm realistic. I have to get to work, go to the doctor, and get food. And where I live I can't walk to any business. So I need gas to stay low so I can live well and not foreclose on my house and live in my car that can't move because I can't pay for fuel.
I MUST travel to work so I can pay my bills and feed my family

I live 10 miles from the nearest grocery store.
On a bicycle that would take about an hr
to ride there and another hr to ride back home.
Not counting having to do it in the dark with
no lights.
Not counting the fact that some people take
their own work tools to work and cannot fit
all their tools in a basket on a bicycle.
If people can't afford to drive, then they can't
afford to work either.
