That says something remarkably important relating to the condition of the honest compulsion: that it is based on a corporation in the uncertain and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a spy than like a sparkler, something somewhat dainty, but whose very item attractiveness is inseparable from that fragility.

The many million's of barrels of oil we and other country's use every day guarantees the price will soon begin it's infinite climb so we must plan to install another energy source for transportation to continue at soon to be much lower personal travel levels when the price returns to 147 +, again. If and or [ hopefully, ] as our economies recover the oil price increases will return. Our transportation fuel sources must begin reforming now not when the whole economy has collapsed becouse of unaffordable transportation fuels. ten years into the future prices will be higher by twenty years there will be supply restraints further increasing prices thirty years oil will become unavailable due to declining oil flow levels from known oil producing fields for most of the earth. Perhaps Detroit could put my electric car on the market since thy are not doing much at the moment and are getting a lot of YOUR TAX money. We must plan to install another energy source for transportation now. Pick the fuel you like just not OIL. Drilling for more oil and NG will give us more time but my answer remains the same.

I hope the hell that this country is ready for what the future has coming. There won't be anyone setting on the fence, the second revolution is starting, get ready America, freedom or slavery, you will have to make a decision. We must stop fighting each other and fight this evolving socialistic government. Its time for a Potomac Tea Party. I hope the hell that this country is ready for what the future has coming.

How about all the idiots he appointed to key positions? Also he's apparently all for socialism by approving all these bailouts, so it's not just the Dems but the Republican "God" party too.

A person in Manhattan or Chicago has choices, but transit systems here, for the most part, are skeletal or non-existent. When Americans start shouting about the gas prices in Europe, I hope they'll remember that we don't all live next door to a subway station and across town from a major train station. Many poorer people in the US will be unable to get to work. And their service-industry jobs won't pay enough to get them there. Let the Congressman pay 10 bucks a gallon. HE CAN AFFORD TO.

Why? OPEC is doing its best cut production, and oil companies are now delaying much needed investments in infrastructure. Short version: when demand picks up again, look for prices to respond accordingly. And if in the meantime, we get saddled with policies that put a price on carbon in the economy, we could get to $10/gallon pretty fast.
