 Where I live,it's getting closer and closer to $3.00 a gallon.This is unacceptable!Yeah, but I knew it was coming. It was only a matter of time. The plan is coming together for oil lobbyists so well. Decreasing the price of gas right before the election in an attempt to make the bush administration look good was a scam. Now the real deal will be reveal, we about to get ganked while the oil companies reap record profits. Inside of Me, I am Free, Free to be Me. | |

For the Love of Oil: The Fleecing of the American Consumer by Big Oil Companies, Politicians, and Wallstreet Commodity Traders by McElroy, J C ABOUT THE BOOK Many have stated that the oil and gas company mergers of the late 1990's simply put Standard Oil back together again. By allowing most of it's former companies to merge into a handful of companies, they are now united in effort to manipulate the refining and distribution of oil products, much the same as Standard Oil once did. In one respect, the politicians have allowed a 'corporate oil cartel' to be created. One much more powerful than OPEC. In May of 2001 Senator Carl Levin pointed out in a letter to the General Accounting Office (GAO) that oil and gas company mergers of the late 1990's had had an adverse effect on consumers. He expressed his concern about price manipulation. The GAO in an earlier report had also concluded the oil company mergers had led to higher prices for the American consumer. Yet the politicians we elect have done nothing about it. Unless you count the tens of millions of dollars they have taken from the oil companies ($52 million from 2001-2004, mostly to the Republicans), or from the Wallstreet investment and commodity firms ($26 million in 2005 alone, 52% to the Democrats), in order to do nothing about it. The goal of this book is to educate and explain in basic terms how the oil and gas companies, and Wallstreet commodity firms, have driven up the cost of oil products and natural gas. It will also give the reader information to help bring about political and economic change. http://www.alibris.com/se...883&full=1 if you really want to know educate yourself.

Remember the Montgomery Bus Boycott? It can be done, we can force a change, but we must be of one accord. Electing the same ole dirty politicians, be they demoncrats or repervertcans, is not going to help us, we must help ourselves. Inside of Me, I am Free, Free to be Me. | |

hit $3 a gallon here in San Diego it is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers, but in our daily lives. If we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to desist from harming them.

 OMG $2.85???? You just shot an arrow through my heart. So what are we fighting in Iraq for? Troops dying daily, on the battlefields and in American veteran hospitals, Iraqi citizens being blownup to pieces. Billions upon billions of American tax dollars fueling this illegal war, and the friggin price of gas ain't showing no benefits!!! When are we going to see the victory of this fuckin war!!!???Inside of Me, I am Free, Free to be Me. | |

Gas in the Toronto area has reached as high as $1.09/liter in the past 36 hours -- that's very roughly $4.35/gallon (about $3.75 U.S). We're also dealing with the recent fire of a local refinery, which has driven up prices.

Oh the emotions over such a banal thing as the price of gas when gas is still at least 3 times more expensive in most European countries.

Will this be the straw that breaks the camel's back?  I'm not talking about European prices. I'm talking about the friggin price of gas at the pump where I fuel my vehicle. Price gouging is immoral/destructive, there ain't no two ways about it, yahmean? Inside of Me, I am Free, Free to be Me. | |
