Wrong analogy.
We can do without expensive coffee or easily find cheaper coffee.
We cannot do without gas nor is there competition.
The fact that other countries can raise the price of oil/gas at will whenever they want more money is insane. Insane because we can shortcircuit their monopoly by drilling our own if we can get the envirowackos neutered.

Lock 'em all up for sedition and treason.

To hades with environmentalists and ecoterrorists.

[Publius6961]

and the dumbest oversight:

Nobody needs to buy coffee regularly 20 gallons at a time...

[Doe Eyes]

We can do without expensive coffee or easily find cheaper coffee. We cannot do without gas nor is there competition.

We can, drive automobiles that are far more efficient.
