What kills me is these d**n speculators.  They have to be in cahoots with the oil companies.  They come out and say "gas could reach $4.00 this summer", so of course the oil companies say, well gee wiz, if that's what they are expecting then let's do it.  I wish these guys would all just shut up.  What has changed so much in the past couple years that prices go up ten times the inflation rate?

I guess the white collar people and us gov dont realize what american justice could happen. Imagine seeing all of the usa going bananas at the same time, one big raging group of people demonstrating they have had enough.  Remember     WE THE PEOPLE    we do have the power if we all would just say no at the same time to important issues
