There is no way I am going to spend that type of money just to relax...no sir, not me. I think I will trade that 5th wheel in for a sleeping bag and just camp in the back yard. That will show them speculators and oil companies a thing or two!!!;)

Happy Camping
i know how can you relax when you've just been fleeced by people who are already so rich their families are taken care of for generations to come. i hope they are all happy and the day that oil is useless i only hope to see their sad faces on the news

Alas, he was an excellent writer. Looked professional with comas and everything.
I guess our only source of reliable (inflammation) will be the TV. Otherwise known as the Si-Fi Cannel.

I think we should put this thread on pause until next year and see what happens.

Just remember, the goverment is also hiding a UFO in Area 51 since the 1950's. I would suppose it doesn't even use oil and is capable of outer space travel. Man - they sure are sticking it to us. Oh wait - that couldn't possibly be true, that would mean both the Democrats and Republicans are crooked thieves.

So oil spiked today because a couple of guys opened their mouth and said blah, blah, blah with the result most likely being even higher diesel and gas prices.

Can only imagine the end result if those great minds of Manhattan, Moon and SR71 got together to get us away from reliance on oil.

Perhaps we should all exchange recipes in ATC.

Dick --

Those posts were indeed on topic. They were not offensive and apropos to the topic at hand. They took many hours to compose. A private message would not seem like too much of a courtesy. I am very disappointed in your judgment and will not be participating further.

Please keep posts directly related to original topic. While recent comments were interesting and thought provoking they were off-topic and very political in content.

What good will come out of higher fuel prices? On ABC news last night 6-24-08 they listed several US companies that have already benefited by shifting production back to the US. Couldn't find the ABC article without listening to the whole webcast but this article has some similar information:

"Stung by Soaring Transport Costs, Factories Bring Jobs Home Again"
http://yaleglobal.yale.edu/display.article?id=10958

Those that will succeed will be the ones with a "can do attitude" and make lemonade from these oil price lemons. These times just make us put our thinking caps on, if we didn't rise up to meet life's challenges our brains would just go to mush.

Oil and it's byproducts are the life blood of our existence. We HAVE to have it to live. Right now at least.

Since it is so important to us it has great leverage and those whom control it are on the end of the lever. A type of black mail then ensues.

If you want you and your family to live, then you will pay up.
If you try to call for help by creating a viable alternative fuel source such as nuclear or the doubtful Cold Fusion, then you will suffer the consequences.

If Cold Fusion had been viable it would have turned the oil companies into steel junk yards with towering monuments to the old days before enlightenment.

So now the push is for Government to step in and save us, but they are part and parcel to the hostage holders.

Capitalism is very good for the many, but bad for the few. we may, in coming years, see a merging of Capitalism and Socialism and then a slow demise of the former.

More and more people want to be cared for now. To rid themselves of the basic responsibilities of living and thinking. And as usual, there are groups that are at the ready to take on these responsibilities, but at what price.

We are going through the "Blame Game" right now, but shortly, one group will be declared the winner in this game. It will not be a Political party, but rather an ideology. It will be costly, both in dollars and personal freedom.

Who was it that said, "There is nothing to fear, but fear itself".
Don't let them make you afraid with tales of horrors to come. This is how THEY gain power over us. If we keep our heads and use our brains and common sense it will all work out.
Be part of the solution and not the problem. Only Sheep can be fleeced.
