Also, the US has never had a "King".
Very good Nelson. Name calling has always been a part of the USA though. It is covered under "Free Speech". The again, wasn't the King of England looked at as "always right"? Those that started the USA turned against the leader of their government and stood up against someone that was a tyrant.
I might have been out of line calling "Dubya", as many refer to GW Bush, "the King". Though I feel "Dubya" as a derogatory name too, but to many people that is acceptable.
Sorry, I feel it is ironic that those that are in office come from the oil industry, such as Bush, Condoleeza Rice, Dick Cheney, for example and we are experiencing high fuel costs. It is also ironic that an election coming soon and prices are coming down.
It is a known fact that the Bush family are friends with Saudi Arabia and many other OPEC members.
Is it just a coincidence that oil prices are high while Bush is in office?
There are just too many things that are a coincidence all at the same time. Bla, bla, bla...Supply and demand...bla, bla, bla...Oil consumption...bla, bla, bla... Yea we heard it before.
Personally, the price of gas doesn't bother me. I can afford to fill my tank. I can afford to go on vacations. I do not let the gas prices dictate how I live my life.
What I do have a problem with is if these prices are inflated by those in office. When people are pinching pennies to make ends meet and someone is making butt loads of money off someone else's misery, we as a people, need to stand up and fight back.
Profit is not a dirty word and I have no problem with a company making money...if it is done fairly and honestly.
You can't trust the oil industry to police themselves much the same as you can't trust the tobacco companies to tell you the truth about tobacco.
Ask a Ford salesman who makes the best truck. Ask the same question to the Chevy salesman.
Asking a Republican controlled government led by an oil tycoon president is like asking the Chevy salesman who makes the best truck. You know the Chevy salesman won't say Toyota, Nissan, or Ford. Nope, a Chevy salesman will look you straight in the eye and say..."Chevrolet...without a doubt".
