Crazy Hippies..... I voted neither.

Anyways, Gas Prices aren't that bad in the USA. Europe pays something like $8US a liter. Not a us gallon folks but a liter. Do I like the current prices. No, but paying $2.95 a gallon for me is not the end of the world.

I bet you that when the cable company raises their prices you don't bitch. Food prices of have been up and you don't see people screaming about that. If we go with ethanol, food will be far higher in price. The issue with the gas prices is simple.... Supply and Demand. OPEC Controls the flow of oil. It's the same thing with diamonds. The only reason that diamonds are worth something because of it's limited release on the market. De Beers controls about 90% of the diamonds in the world. They release such a small amount on the market that the issue of supply and demand keeps prices up.

OPEC does the same action. They control most of the oil.l They release only X number of barrels of oil on the market. If they pumped more oil, prices would be less. Don't blame the oil companies. Blame OPEC and the nations that run OPEC.

The Airlines, I have issues with them but my issues with them is a fact with all of society. THERE IS NO LONGER ANY DAMN CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!!
