Okay, don't blast me here.....but I'm going to say this, and this comes from a former Republican. This is what we get for electing Republicans. We were bullied into it because the Democratic party stands for gay rights and pro-choice which many of us are opposed to. This caused many people to vote Republican. It is the MORAL thing to do.
However, along with the package comes a preference for rewarding big business and special interests at the general public's expense. Democrats are more for the working people and we "normal" folks lived better under their leadership. We need another party. A moral party that is for the people. I'm an independant at heart now with Democratic leanings who is prolife. We each make our own moral choices whether things are legal or not. People shouldn't use laws to determine right from wrong. Hope I'm making my point. Somethings got to change!!!

Marilyn, I don't know about that I use to be a registered Democratic but over the years I have been voting Republican. In my state the Democratics have ruined everything.. I think if a Democrat gets into office as president we are going to be in big trouble. Just my opinion of course, and I value yours.. You are right about making moral choices. back to gas prices lol I paid $3.55 in another town by me. In my town it varies from $3.75 and up. |

I have to agree with Marilyn and the Republican agenda. I'm a lifelong Democrat and I am very proud of the accomplishments of my party, for example, Social Security, Workers Compensation, the 40 hour week, child labor laws, Medicare, civil rights, banking regulation, collective bargaining, and environmental protection.
Oh and gas here in Austin today was anywhere between 3.65 and 3.82. |

Wow, $3.82 in Austin. Never thought I'd see the day. We spoke to a man today who owns oil wells. Due to the current price of crude, he's making $250,000 per month!! Can you imagine. That kind of income is inconceivable. We are paying so other people can make that kind of profit? No one needs that much money. I'm not for taking it away from him, he invested well and should be rewarded for it, but for oil to be this high. This is absurd!!

You are right, oil is way too high. I wish I knew when it would come down to a reasonable level, but I fear we are looking at the future. I know Europe has been living with these and higher prices for a long time. I don't think they have any sympathy for us.
Part of the problem is that it has happened so quickly - if we had eased up to these prices over a few years, then we'd all be better prepared to adapt with smaller more efficient cars and the like. But no, it's been WHAM - here it is and no one is prepared. |
