All this talk about gas prices being so high and people blaming everyone from the SUV driver to the president. People saying that if we boycot for a day or two the prices will go down. First of all, if you dont buy it today or tomorrow, your gonna buy it soon enough because you have too, a couple days aint gonna hurt the oil business because when your sitting on empty, your gonna have to buy gas. Like mudwitch said, people will buy it to do the things they like and like crappie lips said, they will buy it because they have to go to work. So here comes the factor of supply and demand, I think it's a big excuse crock of crap. I dont think there is gonna be a supply shortage of oil for as long as this old world will last before a world war kills us all or a natural disaster takes us all out. So if the demand is high, then you have to spend more money to produce it. Well then the more you produce, the more that is being sold, so therefore it's not costing more to supply it because you are making profit off of it. People say they should drill more oil here in the states to ease the prices. There are not enough refineries here because the environmentalists had there way with blocking the production of new refineries. People say open up the reserves to ease the prices. How are we gonna replace those reserves, that would just make the demand go back up again and shoot the prices right back up. It's all about the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. Tim The Lippa Rippa Man said it well, none of the politicians care about you or me. I sure as heck dont see any of them here on crappie.com I must say thanks to the Veterans that gave me all my rights and Freedom of speech and the right to vote. I will admit that I dont vote, and I hope it doesnt offend you veterans, I also have that freedom to choose not too. I know they care about nothing but themselves and they are gonna do as they see fit when they get in office. Some people say well you dont have a right to complain since you didn't vote. I have that freedom also, and it wouldnt matter if I had or had not voted, whatever will be will be. We as Americans are spoiled, most all of us would like a little more money and a little lower gas prices. I know I would. I hate it as much as everyone else, but lets face it, I dont think there is much we can do about it. Maybe I'm wrong, just my thought.
