Nope, just disgusted over the fact that everyone sits here happily while corporations go along their merry way of increasing prices as much as they want to regardless of supply/demand.

Do you ENJOY paying $3.00 a gallon?

Of course not, but I don't categorize an entire country as fat, stupid and lazy because they aren't burning gas stations in protest.

But the fact is they don't do ANYTHING AT ALL.
Everyone as a whole just sits around and whines "man this sucks. gas is $3 a gallon."

You don't have to burn down a gas station to make a point.
But you can certainly complain more and louder to the people that actually matter.

But nobody would notice that a gas station was burning here anyhow.
It'd never make the news.
Something about some 'war' elsewhere is more important than our own country.

But Muslim extremists burn soldiers hanging from bridges and behead contractors and reporters to make their point. Under your theory all they would have to do is complain louder? You should shoot them a quick memo.

well, to be fair to likwid, we could complain to the taxing authorities (fed.gov and state.gov) about the per-gallon gasoline surcharges they tack on to the retail price of gasoline.

it won't solve everything, but it will certainly help.

also, if you wanted to be a real pain in the arse, one could lobby congress to remove the favorable tax treatment that commodity futures contracts enjoy (a portion of capital gains on futures contracts are taxed at the long-term = lower rate).

of course, you do that, the entire city of Chicago will revolt.

but that's okay, i hate Chicago.

not being reported by Iranian television and our own MSM are large-scale protests and rioting by the 30 and under crowd in Iran.

this is really bad news for ahmadinerag ... the 30 and under crowd have no allegiance to the islamic revolution and are pro-modernity and quality of life.

cracks in the regime?
