The commodities speculators will use any excuse to bid up oil prices. If I were the President, I'd announce this week that we are in war time and will start rationing gas to x-number of gallons per driver starting Sept. 1. It would be so simple to do with computers keeping a tally on your driver's license number. Talk about a market crash! I'd be delighted to have played a part in the war on terror by putting the Saudis and the oil speculators out of business.

Not only would the market crash...so would the US economy (what do you think trucks run on?)

Go to hell!!!!
FACT: 90% of lower 48 production is found by independents like myself. You wanna put about 500,000 people out of work.
You REALLY want to make a difference? Start attcking the Sierra Club, Natural Resources Defense council, et al. They are far more responsible for lack of supply (the MAIN reason prices jump) than any other factor.
You don't like speculators, then write your Senator and PLEAD with them to nationalize the business. Nothing like a gov't run program to show success.
