Wow...
Nope, I'm not ready to do this just yet. I still believe that we can drill our way out of this. Or at least to some lower level. Yea go after the oil, put up a couple more refineries and this will help us bridge the gap. I know... crazy talk! ;-)
Have fun!

I think Paris did a good job with her response. It's funny without being mean. I wonder how many people will write her name in on their ballot.

The average US citizen does have it good compared to most people in other countries and those who lived generations before us in the US. Just wondering how low of a standard of living you think we should just accept before we are allowed to vent?

If we were always expected to "just accept a lower standard" we would not had the likes of the Wright brothers, Samuel Morse, Edison and others that have made the US what it is. I refuse to believe we have reached the time when we have to "accept a lower standard". Not me! Not in my lifetime!

For you "supply and demand "folks here's some more fodder:
Thu Aug 07, 2008 at 02:45:34 PM PDT
A recent data revision by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission has revised upward--by nearly 25%--the the total number of oil futures contracts thought to be held by speculators. According to the CFTC, as of July 15, speculators controlled 48% of the crude oil futures markets rather than the 38% they previously reported. The change appears to be the result of the reclassification of a single investor
In reclassifying investments from commercial hedging positions to noncommercial speculative positions, the CFTC has said little about the reasons behind the shift. But the real surprise in the new numbers is that only one investor was reclassified--meaning that it appears that a single investor controlled 460 million barrels in market positions, or fully 10% of the market. CFTC officials are not saying who that single investor is, but the recent fall in oil prices coincides fairly closely with the collapse of SemGroup LP, an energy trader which filed for bankruptcy on July 22 after losing billions in oil futures and derivatives investments
I have read other items that point to the Semgroup Bankruptcy. They lost $2.4 BILLION.
Looks like the market for oil is easily manipulated.

And she had about as good of policy as I have heard from the rest and looks a whole lot better.![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/awink.gif "awink")

I agree with jimboalaska. Don't forget nuclear power, bottomless electricity and no oil usage.
