    Looks like the European Truckers aren’t putting up with the high price of oil anymore. I feel bad for those affected by the strike, but I think others in industries affected will also take a stand at some point. Are we really so low on oil that it demands over $100 a barrel or is the price being manipulated?

    or is the price being manipulated?

    Yes, and the US is one of the largest manipulators. We have the ability to pump so much more oil, but whenever someone drills a new well, it ends up being capped. I have friends and family in the oil business from Nebraska to Mississippi, and an Uncle that spent many years in Alaska working on the pipeline. Another friend of mine has family that owns and independant oil field and they are only allowed to pump 25 percent of the capacity of that field. That is just plain wrong. There is money to be made out their by everyone, let the independant oil people make that money, and make it now while it the price of oil is so high. Not just the large companies.

    Part of the reason I was so happy to see Bush and Cheney get elected in 2000 was the fact that they might have been able to get a grasp on our oil problems, sadly I was mistaken, and now we see the consequences for postponing a logical, and forward thinking energy plan. Now that the Dems are in charge we are going to blame a light bulb. Perhaps we could have a light bulb police going from house to house arresting anyone using those evil incedensents. =)) It is hard to believe all that supidity could be found in just one place or just one group of people. – Lorica

    Activists Preparing Against Use of ‘Brown Note’ at Dem Convention

    Political activists planning protest rallies at the upcoming Democratic Convention in Denver have their stomachs in knots over a rumor about a crowd control weapon – known as the “crap cannon” – that might be unleashed against them.

    Also called “Brown Note” it is believed to be an infrasound frequency that debilitates a person by making them defecate involuntarily.

    As if there wasn’t going to be enough B.S. during the convention!!!!! =))=))

    Oh man, I love it!!!!!
