Our lives have truly become absurd.... its nothing more than slavery with a pretense of freedom with a large injection of blind patriotism. I love this country and life but we are being screwed every which way. It saddens the journey.

I'd be happier if they would take that alcohol out of the gas

I locked into my heating for the winter, and they had a little add on
"if the price drop's off I will will still pay my lock -in price or pay $185. for a buy a special contract to lower the price ....like WTF is this all about!

I still think the gas prices are way too high! Whenever I need to haul a horse trailer I cringe at the thought of having to fill er up especially if I am driving to the cape and back last trip was well over $100.... The lowest I found so far was 2.89 I think I need to look for some different gas stations

Good read, thankx Dave. Lotta places in NJ under $2.50 now, some still over $3.00m, i dont understand it? How can gas cost more 15 miles down the road, and be as much as $.50 more? here's a site where ya'll can check the high and low prices in your area:

Not all Patriotism is blind. Having been lucky enough to travel the world more than most others I can truly say I have come to realize and appreciate how much better off we are than just about anywhere I've been. And there is no doubt we have far more freedom than most of the world. It's easy to bitch about how bad America is (not that you are) when you have little to compare it to.

Here is my story from the "Junkyard-Guy" on Marthas Vineyard when I was working an excavator/backhoe and driving the 10-wheel dumptruck during the summer of 98.

My boss/buddy, John, was looking for a new dumptruck. He wasn't sure whether to get a gas or a diesel one. One day we are at the junkyard for some odd reason and this big scruffy, deep voiced guy who was torching angle iron in the hot summer sun stops what he's doing and John chats with him. Sometime during the conversation, he asks him about what kind of engine he should get for the truck, "Now, what do you think?, should I get a diesel or a gas dumptruck?" and the junkyard guy goes over the realities of the island, how it is roughly 30 square miles and that with all the turning on and turning off of the engine, that a gas engine would be the more economical choice due to all the expanding and contracting that a diesel would go through and all, and this was when gas was a whole $1.50 a gallon and was about $1.90 at the marinas on the Vineyard, but at the time was still considered pretty high. So John says, "But the price of gas is so much more than diesel." and the Junkyard Guy says, "Let me tell you something John . . . ", and in his deepest voice continued, " . . . I don't give a f--K how much gas costs cause I ain't walkin!"






Nuff said.

really? There is more opportunity than ever. This talk of being screwed is hilarius.....who is buying all these 50 inch flat screen TVS, DVDs, Digital Cams, VAn Stall reel etc......you are! No one is making you, the "man" doesnt exist.
Screw patriotism or the govt,. we are in a capitialist society, money talks. If you find a better way, it will make money. What changed in this country is there is too much whining, to much talk about being victims. This country was bullt on blood and sweat. Want lower gas prices, get off gas! This is AMerica, we have the brains and technology. No why were not???? THERE IS NO MONEY IN IT!!!!!!! Once it becomes profitable for hybrids or alternative fuel cars, they will be produced.
