Crude oil is EXPLODING TODAY!

[Nebe]

I think whats going on now with oil is that the oil producers know that this world is on the cusp of some great breakthroughs in alternative energy production. Now is the time for them to screw us as hard as they can before there are more 'options'..

Boy I would love to see #^&#^&#^&#^& Cheeny's 'top secret' energy plan

Sure - the odds of an alternatives arising grow alongside the rise in gas prices.
At $3 a gallon a hybrid was still not a value over the life of the vehicle - as opposed to say, a gas Civic. In other words, over the life of the vehicle, the fuel savings would not cover the premium and maintainance for the hybrid. But at $6 a gallon - different equation.
Now buying the hybrid is a no-brainer. That's a big change over six months.
Next, electric and bio-fuel become viable alternatives. They are already out there, waiting for the equation to add up.
And at some point, it makes sense to cut your losses. Put a brick on the gas pedal of your F150, point it at the pier, slap that hog into gear, and blow a kiss at her.

Nothing will change until we as a people start putting the country before self. We have become too selfish and self centered. I thought that the 9/11 could have a binding effect on this country but soon realized it wouldn't last. More people were killed at the WTC than Pearl Harbor and in less than 72 hours people were complaining about missing their tv shows due to the coverage of the WTC.

We need to stop electing politicians because of what they claim they are going to do for you. Elect those who plan to do something for the country as a whole. By the way, "change" isn't a policy unless you tell me what you want to change and how you plan to do it.
I have lots more to bitch about but I'll let others tie up the bandwidth for now.....

You nailed it, Kevin.
