Re: So, it's started...

According to the White House, we did not go to war over oil. There was too much public outcry and we never accomplished anything except to get a bunch of our people killed or injured. Had we gone to war for "oil" maybe we could have been a bit more upfront about it instead of calling it a liberation. We liberated Europe 60 years ago and there was never a doubt about what our goals were.

So let's ask this, why did the price of oil increase by 150% over the course of several years? Well, to start with, 5 years ago, gas was $1.50 and we had a 6" gasoline supply line break between Tucson and Phoenix. Some radio moron heard about it and announced that we would run out of gas overnight. Everyone in town ran out and filled their tank. Well, of course we ran out because no city has enough gas to fill everyone's tank in one day. Even if we had it in the tank farms, there is no way to get it to the stations. Then, like the idiots we are, we started fighting over it. The gougers ran the price up to around $ 3.50 and people were getting beat up and shot.

What message did we send to the Arabs? "Hey, we will kill each other over $4 gas." They waited a few years and then crept the price of oil up to where it is today. We cry about it but we pay, pay, pay. Did they raise the price voluntarily because of the desire to make billions each day or are the terrorists forcing them to do it? Maybe we should tell them that price fixing is illegal and they could be sued.

if you could double your prices today without a hicup, would you do it. I did just that a few years ago and lost 40% of my business. That meant that I was now doing half the work and making more money. When the oil rich countries do it, they are condemned.

We need to drill in Alaska and everywhere else where we have oil. Or, curb our demand.

We are playing into their hands and it's our fault. We are doing nothing but burning fuel and heating the earth and we all know it.

Maybe we should have occupied Kuwait and kept that oil buy we are too political.

The country is a mess
The government is a mess
We are lied to every day.

Have I told you about the movie that we want to do on "Weather Control"?
