Dan, I fully understand and I may cancel as it is. It will reach $5.00 in two weeks and the
run is scheduled for April 14th (6 weeks out) I bet it could be $5.75 if it keeps rising.

I firmly believe this country should follow The Constitution. It is out foundation and if people dont like it because it is "harsh" move the F*CK out, move into a communist or socialist country and find your happiness there.

This country was created out of a Revolution, we like challenge authority, to fight, blow things up and destroy and invade other countries.

I personally dont think weapons will ever be banned. It is an issue bigger than food and money.

I hope not. Just like in the late 70's when we had the peanut farmer who gave us 20% interest rates and gas rationing. These 2 things hit every voter in the pocket book. If gas remains high, he will be blamed for these high prices and booted out of office. No way can he or the media blame Bush.

Try it.

Texas fought for and won it's independence once. We can damn sure do it again. We can secede tomorrow if we so choose. We have farming, oil, deep water ports, manufacturing, and our own built in militia. We WILL NOT give up our guns under any circumstances. We will put Balack Osama and his regime of idiots wherever we need to put them to accomplish that.

I suspect Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho, and the Dakotas will follow suit immediately. The result will be civil war, and the good guys WILL win. We have no choice but to win. The only option for Washington would be nukes, and guess what....we have those too. We will burn this mother to the ground before we will give up our guns and freedom and lay down for this socialist monster.

Indeed. And there aren't enough of "them" to disarm all of "us".

I think you can add Oklahoma to your list. We are a pretty strong conservative state and a lot of gun owners and hunters here.

Well as long as all they have to do is pull a lever to get their freedom they will will survive, but when it comes to earning it they'll probably expect us to hand it over.

According to Yahoo, this is why gas prices are up:

1. Volatility in the Middle East
2. Growing demand from Asia
3. Gasoline formulation requirements
4. An improving economy
5. Summer
6. Taxes

The biggest one sited is:
Quote:
Growing demand from Asia. The Department of Energy reported that the United States became a net exporter of oil for the first time since 1949 last year. But if we have all this "extra" oil to be exporting, why are prices at home still going up?

A lot of it has to do with demand for gasoline, which has been declining in the United States for the last 10 years, while shooting up by leaps and bounds in places such as Asia and South America. As demand has tapered of here due to more fuel-efficient vehicles and, more recently, the weak economy, oil companies have had to broaden the scope of potential markets--bad news for American consumers.

"Oil companies that have increased their exports overseas essentially are depleting the U.S. supply [and] in doing so it's creating an artificially higher price for American consumers," Laskoski says. "When consumer demand is weak [in the United States], it's a very attractive option to export and get those healthier profit margins."

That trend isn't likely to change with a burgeoning middle class in Asian economic powerhouses such as China. According to the EIA, Asia surpassed North America as the largest petroleum-consuming region in 2008, gobbling up 25 million barrels a day in 2010.

Gasoline formulation requirements. Although crude oil prices account for the lion's share of what consumers pay at the pump, the process of refining crude oil and making the right formulations to produce gasoline costs money--about 7 percent of the price Americans pay per gallon.

Prices head even higher going into the summer months because refiners have to transition from a winter blend--required by law between Oct. 1 and April 30--to a more eco-friendly--but more expensive--summer blend.

"[The summer blend] has additional additives that add to the cost of producing the product," Laskoski says. "Not only do the refineries have to go through the process of ramping up production for it, but they're doing this at a time of year when consumer demand is starting to increase. This is one of the key reasons why the United States sees this cyclical up and down trend every year."

Specific state requirements can tack on even more expense for refiners and ultimately consumers.

Sometime during this time period they also took away being able to deduct your credit card, loan, or car payment interest from your income taxes. The money then became taxed twice, you were taxed and the bank that made the money was taxed on the same money.
