The price of a bbl of oil last night.
Average retail price for a gallon of unleaded regular, in
this
state,
is now $3.35. That's up 85-cents from the same time last
year.
Premium
typically runs about 30 cents more. The annual spring
price
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.

No mystery here...just bend over for Big Oil and its
facilitators
in the
Bush Administration.- Hide quoted text -

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.

http://www.heritage.org/Press/Commentary/ed061404c.cfm

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.

"All decisions are the result of binary thinking."
But we haven't even TRIED yet to talk to Al Qaeda. You goose steppers
won't
even give them a chance to negotiate.
How much madder to you want to make them?

Oh. It's about talking to Al Qaeda.
Not just them, the Talyban too.

That's a lot of people to talk to. Narrow it down a bit and I'm sure
Harry would volunteer to pop over there and negotiate a settlement for
us.
We just have to talk to the leaders, I'm sure the rest will fall in line.
If we can stop them from hating us it will go along way towards stopping
hate.

Maybe we could use Harry's lobsta boat to sign the treaties on!

What could we do or say or give them that would cause them stop hating us?


We could start by saying we're sorry for blaming 9-11 on them.


Who is them?
