I know in the coming weeks there will be the earth shattering offer by the current administration to release oil from our strategic reserves. And that will solve what? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING again. It will demonstrate the current administration is doing something about the problem. What they will hope, like all previous administrations is to bridge to the return of $3+++ per gallon gas....that we have all been trained to accept.

Then the fickle we the people will go back to being fat and happy that they don't have to pay $4+++ a gallon.....until the next time.

I personally look forward to a PROLONGED full and complete shut down of oil coming from the mideast. What we need is $6 +++ per gallon gasoline for a prolonged period of time to get we the peoples REAL attention....if that is even a possibility anymore.

Isn't anybody else curious about the standard approach of DOING NOTHING by our government, whether R or D in power?

Keep the R or D out of the discussion.....PLEASE TRY.....how do you think your life style will be affected by $6 +++ per gallon fuel prices?

How long ago were we paying 79 cents per gallon? Less than 10 years ago. If we were tolerant enough to rise $3 per gallon.....why not $3 more?
