Someone criticizes the government, and voila! Another lefty - righty debate. Give it a rest, it's getting old, and worry about the decent people taking it on the chin, for whatever reason.

Well....I agree with the topic. I really don't care how much fuel costs are. It will not change how much I drive, how far etc etc. Gas could rise to $10/ gallon for all I care.

And yes...the media is going to town on this. Lets focus at the larger concern....those who will go home to nothing in NO!!

If it's hurting your budget....then you're too stretched out in my mind.

On the news tonight we saw all those peoples waiting at the Superdome, dying because the can't get any water or food.

And then they showed those who were waiting in line at the gas station and complaining because they couldn't get any gas for their big SUV.

What more can I say.

I think either situation really sucks. No water is bad. No gas is bad. How does complaining about no gas affect the folks at the Superdome? They're exclusive events.

Today, about 2000 Mississipians were heading to Memphis, TN for shelter. The transporting buses were diverted to a military base because they ran out of gas and couldn't find enough fuel. So, I guess no gas really does suck for those 2000 individuals, eh?

So basically our energy situation is pretty much like the old "living from paycheck to paycheck" deal?

Time to release some of the strategic reserves?

You're trying to impart perspective, reason, logic, and common sense to someone who shrilly cried foul on Oprah Winfrey for imparting a severe hardship on her audience because she didn't (immediately) pay their taxes...on the Brand New Cars the scandalous b!tch just gave them.

Meanwhile there's the usual gang of whiners over an another thread mindlessly rolling around in their own fecal material in an orgiastic display of hating Bush, using the gas hikes as the latest reason.

Can we just all agree that you all hate Bush, and agree that you believe he is singularly responsible for all past, present, and future wrongs in the cosmos?

**** unbelievable. Really.

Abso-****ing-lutely unbelievable. Really.
Not unbelieveable at all. Did you speak up when neocons posted the message that Clinton 'knew about 9/11 beforehand?'

But I guess it's okay to hate Clinton and blame everything on him...

NO. I am not compasionate for dumb asses in huge SUVs.

How you got from GAS PRICES to concluding that I am not compassionate is such dim witted drivel that it boggles the mind.

Actually, you left no other good logical conclusion to be drawn. You state your apathy about gas price increases. You illuminate your inability to realize there are far-reaching economic impacts.

Your original post conveys you either lack compassion, or are stupid. I kindly picked a flaw you can overcome.

Ok folks - everyone needs to calm down here.

If this thread continues to be filled with personal attacks and inappropriate language, it will be closed.
