You don't like being taken to the cleaners as a result of a
"secret"
national energy policy and collusion between "big oil" and the Arab
states?

Lyndon Larouche IS alive and well and living in Virginia.

Which, now that I think about it, is true.

Check the date Harry.


It doesn't matter...we're headed for $4.00 a gallon gasoline.


$2.64 at the corner gas stations today.


mmm let's see... local price of $1.13 per liter x 3.78 = $4.27 an
American
gallon.
Been there, done that! What makes it even worse, our loonie is worth
slightly more than the American dollar.

Not anymore it's not.

.9943 at last trade. :)

You wish!

I know you Canadians are a little slow - in particular those who llive
in Nova Scotia, but...

From above web site:

Summary:

On 21 Dec 2007, 1.00 U.S. dollar(s) = 0.99 Canadian dollar(s), at an
exchange rate of 0.9944 (using nominal rate.)

~~ snerk ~~

Hey... ~snerk~ right back.
You're reading it backwards. Probably watched too many episodes of
'South Park'. ;-)

Yeah yeah - I made a mistake.

Damn Canadians... :)

CRAP! I hate this.....

I ihghly doubt that we will see that in the next 5 to 10 years. Maybe
a disruption might cause it, but not now.

On a completely different note:

Are you denying that Dicque Cheney held "secret" national energy
policy meetings
with big oil that to this day are a closely held secret of the
administration? What do you think they discussed? How to help the
American consumer, or how to fleece the consumer and increase
corporate profits
I don't know what was discussed - I wasn't there.

And neither were you.

I would assume that price was discussed - it would seem to me to be a
natural point to start the discussion.

However I would point out to you that none other than your own St.
Gore proposed a doubling of gasoline prices (by a combination of
wholesale price rise and taxattion) as a way to keep the use of
gasoline limited thus reducing emissions - I think he called it an
environmental and economic win-win.

If the money raised were properly spent on the development of
alternative fuels and on forced higher performance of vehicles, we'd be
way ahead of the game by now and beginning to lose our dependence upon
Muslim oil.

Why does the government have to pay for the research and development?


So the people own the technology and can license it to manufacturers or
processors who agree to reasonable profits, of course.

Or the unions agree to reasonable wages?

CRAP! I hate this.....

Interestingly, we pay for universal health care for all Iraqis and
Afghans, but the SOB in the White House thinks the SCHIP program is too
expensive. What a country!

No, he thinks (and rightfully so) that the program should not cover folks
having the financial means to purchase their own health insurance.



In Canada you aren't allowed to pay for preferential treatment...

That's in flux... there are private clinics in this province offering
various services and people are always free to hop over the border.
The big problem is the Federal gov't balancing it's budget and creating
surpluses by not keeping up with their share of the costs.
