Then why is the $6.00 a gallon gas in Atlanta? (Hint: think of where the pipeline from Louisiana goes).

Aren't you tired of belaboring your pointless point? I'm tired of you doing it. Repetition is not a virtue. Go argue repetitively with yourself for an audience. You'll have a lot of fun I'm sure.

Hey, since you're on again, I just want to ask you once more. Maybe you got busy and it slipped your mind. But I asked you a direct question in post #249 over 12 hours ago and I only got an insult for an answer.

I know, maybe I was expecting too much of you to answer a direct question, but I thought I'd try it again.

Here we go, copied and pasted from post #249:

1: Would you rather be able to buy gas at $3.50 a gallon, or have no gas to buy at $2.50 a gallon.

2. Please explain your brilliant anti-gouging proposal, and explain exactly how you would legally define gouging, and what penalties you would set for someone convicted of it.

Also explain how you would set up your system to prevent the shortages, gas lines, and other problems that always occur when you set artificial price caps.

Now, seeing as there are people in florida waiting in vain for non-gouging gas, citing "I'm for whatever governor bush is doing" doesn't really satisfy the question, since it doesn't prevent shortages.

So somebody as brilliant as you must be able to devise a system of price caps (which is what anti-gouging laws essentially are) that will help consumers and prevent gas shortages.

I'll be waiting for your answer, along with the rest of the freedom minded individuals you've insulted on this board.

I just can't see why you think that all the people who evacuated the area hit by the hurricane are now no longer continuing to need gasoline either directly or in their support chain. It's kind of pig-headed to not admit that just because they are no located in the devastated area that they no longer put a demand on the country's gasoline supplies or that the loss of the Gulf's production does not impact the rest of the country. Those are just not rationally opposable points. Why you continue to do so baffles me.
