    Absolutely ludicrous. Six dollars a bloody gallon. Fortunately its only about $2.98 for unleaded here [S. Colorado].

    If everyone didnt all go get gas right on that day the priceses would not be up that high, basic supply and demand, they all went crazy and everyone went to get gas so the demand rose greatly, now the prices rise as a result of everyone going.

    And with Hurricane Katrina ripping through the south, shutting down many oil refineries, oil rigs, and so on I predict the price with continue to rise, even with our "esteemed" president tapping the emergency oil reserves...50,000,000 barrels of crude oil will probably be enough to keep the US running for a few days.

    Six dollars? Should I complain about the gas prices jumping 23cents in my area then? I feel a little guilty...

    But really! I don't want to pay $3.18!

    Evil. I wish people would hurry up and make a replacement. If people can drive around the country on french fry grease, surely there is a better alternative.

    Or bought and buried by oil companies. If an amazing solution to all of our energy problems suddenly came out...low cost, no loss of energy, no harmful emissions, where would the oil industry make their money? Why would people buy oil (other than the production of oil-based products...which is most things) in large quanities if they can simply have free energy?

    I'm sure quite a few solutions have been made over the years, only they've been pushed down and bought out.

    *coughs* HYDROGEN FUEL CELLS *coughs*

    They might not be viable now... But actually fund them and in 3 years we could have something that gave water off as a byproduct.

    If I was extremely wealthy, I'd fund Hydrogen fuel cell research in a heartbeat.

    I hate this country. *sigh*

    Conversation with 'country':
    "You make me so angry, you stupid thing." She kicks the ground and glares at it. "I should drop a bomb on you. I know I can do it, I've had dreams!"

    Or should I be saying, goverment? Eh, no matter.

    No clue.

    A bunch of my friends ask me why I burn flags. Truth is to me they stopped representing what they were made to represent a long time ago.

    You remember Sept. 11? And how many damn flags were sold?

    Lets just say I burned my fair share of flags. I literally went around with a few of my friends ripping them off mail boxes and lighting them on fire.

    I'm still suprised we weren't caught. *laughs*

    What mind? I have no mind. This requires no prethought, I am a vessel for higherbeings that are channeling my 'thought'.

    (believe that, and I pity you... but you have to admit! It's possible. Anything's possible)
