Average retail price for a gallon of unleaded regular, in this

gouge we
have endured each of the last several years should be getting
underway
very soon, as the
refiners all claim to be passing along the costs of converting
from
winter to summer formulations.


The challenge for boaters who don't care and say, "We can afford
to
pay for fuel, regardless of the cost", will be the disappearing
infrastructure.


When the working man has to give up boating because he can't
afford
to
fuel up for a weekend's outing, it guts the infrastructure that
everybody depends on. Without the critical mass of the small
boaters,
many of the service businesses and retailers upon which the
entire
boating community relies cannot remain in business. There is
less
justification for the state to set aside marine parks or
otherwise
prioritize boating recreation.


I wish I had a solution. I don't. But when poor families are
facing a
"heat or eat" decision every week while BIGOILCO makes
$40-billion
profits
it's possible to see the human tragedy in play, even without
being
able to identify a solution.


And this is with a gasoline surplus.. Just wait till supplies run
low.


Ouch.

Take a look at historical data and you'll see something astonishing.
It seems that talking works! All that happens when we think we are
going after the "enemy" is **** them off. After all, it doesn't make
very good business sense at all. Think about it. What if, say, you
were making widgets and I was the sole manufacturer of the number one
component that those widgets needed to operate. Would you think I'd be
more than likely to work with you, monetarily wise if you were decent
to me, or if you ****ed me off?

No mystery here...just bend over for Big Oil and its

Did you ever think our enemies who seem to control the oil and
terrorism have nothing to do with this? It is a fact that you
can
not
dispute that these terrorist regimes want to raise the prices
and
make
the repubs look bad and get voted out of office. After all,
repubs
shoot back when we are attacked, dems talk....- Hide quoted

Take a look at historical data and you'll see something
astonishing.
It seems that talking works! All that happens when we think we are
going after the "enemy" is **** them off. After all, it doesn't
make
very good business sense at all. Think about it. What if, say, you
were making widgets and I was the sole manufacturer of the number
one
component that those widgets needed to operate. Would you think
I'd
be
more than likely to work with you, monetarily wise if you were
decent
to me, or if you ****ed me off?


Can you spell A bomb?


Just ask Chamberlain. He'll tell you how much talking works.

Just ask Reagan if talks work.

Portions therein:
Ronald Reagan was a strong believer in personal diplomacy - the idea
of having a face-to-face discussion with those he was seeking to
persuade. That's why, after becoming president, he often talked
privately about the desire to engage the leader of the Soviet Union
in
a one-on-one conversation, to diminish any fear of the United States'
intentions and to seek common ground for reducing tensions and
promoting peace.


You gotta know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em. And, you
gotta
know when to shoot and when to hold your fire.


Of course, that assumes you've got something to shoot.

But we haven't even TRIED yet to talk to Al Qaeda. You goose steppers
won't
even give them a chance to negotiate.

John, it's not me, it's my little stalker boy/girl.


Hey, stop stalking me, dummy.


You'd make life a lot easier for Loogy if you'd just tell him whether
you're a boy or a girl.

Yeah, I'd really like to know if Jim is a boy or a girl. Anyone like
that certainly isn't a man.


You're petty name calling does nothing for you're credibility.
