What I find discouraging is that as the price of gas goes up, Bush's approval ratings go down. Stupid people blame him, not the dems and their environNAZIs, for gas being in high demand vice supply.
Sometimes I hope they'll get what they want. Go ahead, elect Algore, and then see how much gas will cost you, IF you can find any. Then I remember I have to live in the same world with these bozos.
All we can do is talk and educate. Rise in gas prices is caused by scarcity while demand is high. Lighten demand (don't drive, or drive a yugo) or increase supply (start drilling). Screw the dolphins. I don't care if that makes Hootie cry!
What really drives me nuts is living in the NE and listening to all the libs complain about home heating costs.
You wouldn't have to do that, if you lived in Texas or Oklahoma. Intrastate trade isn't subject to federal regulation. It's possible to produce, refine, and sell petroleum products intrastate here.
But I'm definitely ready for some challenges to Congressional mandates on e.g. "clean air". I'll grant their authority to regulate air and water I import from Louisiana, but at some point all this Commerce Clause idiocy that FDR fomented will have to be rolled back, and this business of pushing the States aside for the convenience of this or that political grouping (business, Greens) brought to a halt.
