First, lets point out that we

pay less for fuel than almost anywhere else in the world. Ok, economies of scale come into play and we are a major

producer. We still import far more than we produce. Much of the world would like to know why we pay so little for

fuel.

Second, is it really still that high other places? I paid $2.06 for gas yesterday. Still high and will

probably go up again for the holidays in another traditional false shortage.

Third, Anybody here besides me

remember the oil embargo in the '80's? This isn't about any one administration. This manipulation has been going

on for a long time under every president. It isn't a party issue or a "Who's in office now?" issue, it is a cronic

desease that has been allowed to grow in this country for too long. It's all part of a serious illness within our

country that has nothing to do with party affiliation. It has to do with a basic dishonesty within and encompassing

our entire government structure. It isn't any one thing, it's a thousand other things all wrapped into one big

issue...OUR GOVERNMENT IS OWNED BY BIG BUSINESS AND WE ARE GETTING SCREWED DAILY!
