11 now!

Yeah speculators but they have their reasons. No major supply shock either...imagine when it does happen.

Imagine trying to run an airline?

and a forecast that oil would hit $150 by July 4.
Real version: We are going to make oil $150 a barrel by July 4th, we're just calling it 'forecasting' to scare the hell out of all of you.

Get ready for huge changes in the way we live. We're about to take a giant step back to the 1830s. We are so freekin screwed...

Revolution Rant

Funny that you should mention revoluton. The American people no longer have the balls for one. They are only willing to bicker amongst one another. Stand up to Big Brother? Hell no, he might take your stuff away or lock you up. Band together and even try to go in one direction? You gotta be kidding.
Everyone has their own selfish agenda and can't seem to get by it. Most recently the Hilliry supporters, their girl opted out and now they're splitting over Obama and McCain. All these rising prices are meant to do one thing; enslave the working people of this country. What else would you call working for a net of zero?
The thing that really kills me though, is that China and India will pay the sky high prices that they themselves have created and will have an economic boom because of it.
Greatest country in the world my ass, that would take the greatest people. That was us, but that was then, this is now. No nuts, no glory.
How do you fight your own government when anything contrary to the status quo is labeled "terrorism"? There's a life sentence for Revolutionary acts right there. Like I said we're so screwed...
