The media wouldn't report any of that stuff even if it were true because the vast majority of the media are far left lunatics and doom and gloom are the only things that are news to them. They're too busy trying to make the Bush administration look bad to worry about reporting any news.

Outrage does work, but only temporarily. Last summer when the price of gas skyrocketed because of Katrina, people (and many of the media outlets) were screaming about all the gouging that was taking place, which eventually resulted in the price coming back down (though it didn't go down to the price it was before the spike). The more the insane profits of the oil moguls are publicized, the more they have to justify their greed, and when they can't, the prices come down.

...I think it's time for that outrage again. If prices are this high now with virtually no major meteorological or political events, imagine what they'd be if another Katrina or 9-11 happened. Fuel would be out of reach for many people. Low-wage workers may just not show up for work as fuel for their vehicles would cost more than they'd make on their shift at Target or Wal-Mart.

Replying to: bottgers (Apr 08, 2006 7:44 am) The same thing is going on with natural gas, and heating oil prices and markets. What sort of conspiracy is going on with the gold markets? Is there all of a sudden a shortage of gold? Why has the price shot up so much over the last year? |

Replying to: lemko (Apr 08, 2006 7:52 am) me: Fuel is already out-of-reach for millions in this country, and for billions of people around the world. I would then conclude that people adapt, survive, and live without it. Fuel has always only gone to those are earn a certain amount. you: Low-wage workers may just not show up for work as fuel for their vehicles would cost more than they'd make on their shift at Target or Wal-Mart. me: well I don't think many people are driving 20 or 30 miles each way to work for minimum wage; that's a poor choice. Most people live in urban/suburban areas and there are many jobs that go begging near people. Also many businesses could adjust their shifts to be longer and workers to have to come in less days - (4) 10 hour shifts than (5) 8 hr for example. |

Replying to: fintail (Apr 08, 2006 8:19 am) I like Michael Savage's idea.  For every 1 illegal alien we have here in the U.S. we get 1 barrel of oil per month for Mexico. Rocky |

I forgot, all you have available in Canada is the liberal media. To you, liberal probably seems normal.

Replying to: bottgers (Apr 08, 2006 11:34 am)  OTOH-His poll approval ratings across the board also reflect falling support, which isn't just a liberal media conspiracy.  Back to cars/gas...... Rocky |

 Has it reached $3.10 anywhere yet ?  Rocky |
