Should we blame Obama like the mindless liberals blamed Bush?

yes!!!!!!!!!!! blame someone, everyone!


but seriously, look at how wasteful we are as individuals and as a government. i live in a small town of 10,000 people. We have over 25 full time city police, plus county cops and state trooper HQ. We have very little crime, just one low income neighborhood. Now we have a SWAT team and they drive tahoes around.... why??? seriously? my town doesnt even have a recyling program but we spend thousands on this garbage.

look how many people drive SUVs or trucks without any reason??? high schoolers and college students riding around in f250s, give me a break.

gas is going to go up and force changes in our lifestyle. in Greece, the farm repair techs drive little bitty bubble looking datsun trucks. 1.4 or smaller diesels. here, we have to have an F550 to change a tire for some reason..

I have a water well in my yard so I pull my own water for a couple cents a gallon. I'm sure city water is about the same. However, I don't have an oil well and refinery in my yard, so I have far fewer choices.

I used to hear the same comparisons when milk was actually more expensive than gas. Same deal - I don't need 30 gallons of milk a week to get to work and back.

Gas prices move with speculators and on what they see happening on the TV around the world. That, and plain old supply/demand. So much of it turning on how much of our own we drill and refine, which of course, we don't. Nothing like we used to, anyway, in relation to our current need.

And I still actually had to listen some dope in the cafeteria a couple weeks ago lecturing everyone on how "the Republicans are back in Congress and the gas prices have gone up." Really? You really, really believe that, don't you? You really think the first thing they did was have a secret meeting to "jack up the gas prices", don't you?

I agree with you there! White knuckled wheel holdin' at 25 mph on ice burns a lot less gas than 75 mph with the cruise locked on a fine Summer day.

To the tune of the Sammy Hagar song.. "I can't drive... 75!!!!!"

Maybe we can make gas out of hemp. It'll solve the world's problems . It is the worlds #1 food source after all (sorry, I can't spell primere... maybe hemp will help my spelling).
