Well now that it's $3, and talk of going to $5, few seem concerned.

With the Mid East imploding we are going to take it on the chin.
We should have started drilling in Anwar, built new refineries and nuclear
plants 2 years ago.If we drilling today it would take 3-5 years before we
had results.

We are lacking a pro- active administration and now we are going
to pay the price big time.
We've never had a pro-active administration, when it came to reducing our dependence on imported oil. We've been giving lip-service to it since the first OPEC embargo in 1973, but none of them have actually done anything about it, unless you count Carter extending daylight savings time all year once, and turning down the thermostats in the White House.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

Ya Mike, I remember when we were asked to use less
Chritmas lights for decorations too.
The extension of daylight savings time was short lived because
the kids were walking to school in the morning in the dark.
