where's macuser. ?
the prices are starting to get to a point wher it is actually cost effective to explore our own black-gold resources, as well as alternate energy resources.

I just had a funny memory: Hank, Jr.'s "Johnny Reb" --

"I don't like instance iced tea.
And I ain't crazy about dollar a gallon self-serve gasoline.
And they nearly broke me with high price of beef.
And the funny thing is they think they're puttin' this over on me.
.....

Don't tell me to ride a bus and turn down my thermostat,
When you're all runnin' around in jets and Cadillacs."

This only happens if we ALLOW it. All these liberal crusades have caused this.

Call your Congressman/Senators and DEMAND that we drill for our own oil. Tap our own resources, do whatever is necessary or they will be VOTED OUT. Remove any taxes or restrictions that work against us being energy independent. Demand that they promote USA is Great, OIL is FANTASTIC and the fluid of Freedom in this modern world. Run PSA's to this effect.

Be proactive / call, write, email - and demand a response now. If not, get ready for Gas as high as we're willing to sit idly by and "let" happen.

Forget Green... Black is Good. Black is great. Let's get America back in the Black!

Careful...before you publicly flog the liberals, let's not forget that oil is running out and has been ever since we started using it. Unless people come up with better methods of manufacturing vehicles (the electric car sounds nice...oh wait, I wonder who killed that?), or public transportation in the United States becomes more effective, we're gonna be cruisin' for a bruisin'.

It's not JUST oil, even though that's a large part of it. SBW hit it right on the head...the way to defeat America is through its people's pocketbooks, and our enemies have finally figured it out. But the devaluation of our once-mighty dollar and the subprime mortgage crisis are playing a major role as well.

America is on the brink of complete economic collapse and we can reverse it, we just have to be smart and become more isolationist. I do agree with you MacUser that we need to start using our own resources.

(oh, and don't get me started on the people that support the war in Iraq and then cry about high gas prices)

I've been studying peak oil. If you can get a copy of the book, The Long Emergency, do so and read it. We may be in for an amazing life style change. We would do well to begin preparing now.

you must be from a younger generation....don't be so quick to sell out America......I don't have the time to go into details, but there is more to all that is going on that one sees in this natural realm.

That would free us of a majority of the tree hugging liberals, especially if the NorthWest went in with it. If it didn't perhaps they would get the hint.

Hey, I am no tree hugger

ASSUMING that it is a Possibility: I don't think people realize the drastic effect on life such gas prices would cause.

For me, at what I make, the miles required to drive each day, the gas mileage I get...15$ a gallon would take THREE FOURTHS of my pay.

At 15$ a gallons business will go belly up like cascading dominos.

You remember California (god country :roll:

) how they went Primal when a JURY decision didnt go their way??? What do you think will happen when that element can't afford to drive or even get a job???
Right now the lower income sections of Louisville are responsible for almost 90% of the Murder Rate (and of course liberals tell us it's because of their downtrodden situation)

What will happen when the myth of downtrodden becomes the "glory days" or prosperity?

I BELIEVE THAT 15$ a GALLON FOR GAS WILL BE THE END OF AMERICAN SOCIETY and possibly THE US as a nation.

I completely agree. We would be forced into slavery to other countries.

If the business sector in America is smart they will somehow find a way to get past this whole mess.
