Dollar Drops Further -- Oil Prices Soaring

I disagree.It's not the falling dollar, it's not a shortage, it's not the war, and demand is high but supply can rise to fill it.The rising price of oil is caused by the environmentalists and the politicians who are at their beck and call. We can't use our own oil and coal resources, we can't build nuke plants, we can't build refineries, we have to import everything. That puts us at huge risk from a cartel that consists mostly of people who want to destroy us.Sustainability comes from using our own resources rather than importing everything. Somehow the whack jobs think sustainability comes from using other countries resources, be it timber, oil, or labor.

Ken,
I think you are on to something.
In my opinion, this is about CONTROL. Control of how you, I and the rest of Amerika live our lives and that includes the energy to live out lives how we choose.
For years, various groups including good ole' Uncle Sam has been pressuring the public to drive smaller more fuel efficient vehicles, live in smaller more energy efficient homes, stop "urban sprawl", save the "speckled hoolapopper", as well as endless other causes and issues.
If you stop and take an objective look around at our "political landscape" (say over the past 50 or 75 years)...........I believe you will find the number and magnatude of controls involuntarily placed upon our lives is not only stiffling but shocking.
Controlling the energy that fuels our lives is the ultimate control short of militarist seizure. We are already WELL along down that road built on a very slippery slope.
Expect even more draconian and totalitarian measures to very gradually be added by Marxists and groups like Gore and the Sierra Club, Republican and Democrat as well as others. Don't be surprised when these folks start talking about population control and a few other things.

I meant to add that apparently the price is still not high enough because folks are still driving the same. Just the other day, my wife witnessed one of our more "porkulent" county public servants drive his truck about 100 yards to go half way around the block as opposed to walking.
Don't get me wrong because I believe it WAS a free country and everyone should have the freedom to behave like this as bad as it may be. His behavior DOES show that he could care less about the price of gas and waste in general and it reflects a national attitude.
As Murf eluded to, it won't be long before we are pining away longing for the good ol'e days when gas was $5 a gallon.

KT.... not serious..... I fixed it.Cheif.... speaking of control.... have you read about the "drought" in California? Turns out that a Federal judge has blocked the importation of water from the Sacramento valley because some stinking little fish is getting stuck in the pump intakes.Based on that 6 million people have to quit watering their lawns and washing their cars.

That is a prima facia example of what I speak of Mark. If I were those folks in CA, I would turn on every spigot and hydrant I could find and run the water dry in protest.

Sorry Murf,
I get on a rant sometimes. These whacko judges, congressmen, and other leaders who love & partake in porn yet stand in judgement against it, support armed kidnapping of children without probable cause, and care more about animals than people, and continually find new ways to take our money, property, and liberties just put a BIG burr under my staddle.
