  1. Absolutely! Like we need more power and the resultant corruption in the hands of our politicians.

    Yeah, let's be like Venezuela and all the other third world countries with nationalized oil industries!

  2. Im not into big gov't by any means...but can somebody tell me why when Katrina hit the gulf ( which accoutns for 15% of our oil) prices went up 100% AND NEVER CAME BACK???

    why is it that crude oil jumps 10% today they raise prices within hours to reflect hat....but if oil falls 10% over a two week span there is no change in price????

    why is it that Oil Co's profit has increased so much? if they are paying high crude prices shouldn't that eat into their profits?

    There are detention camps for trouble makers like you. Listen closely for "clicks and hisses" on your phone; you may be monitored.
