humans are gods biggest mistake...if we werent around, then this planet would as pristine, and perfect as it ever was, but no, god, or whoever made a species of parasites thet have just destroyed the planet. And if we get to another planet before we blow this one up, then we will do the same thing to that one too

What do you think?

Recordnet.com: U.S. Senate says halt oil reserve shipments (10:54 a.m.)
heres a link to a small story about how Bush was over ruled by the senate to redirect oil to the people as opposed to the oil reserves.. 70,000 more barrels a day i think to us not the almsot full oil reserves.. Maybe that will help our gas prices a bit

Here is something to think about...
If we started to turn away shipments of crude oil and went to OPEC with a price of 75 bucks a barrel do you think the old "Supply and demand" theory of economics would work?
It won't and I'll explain why..
Sure we have massive amounts in reserve, but cut of the supply and watch the costs reach never before seen highs. Plus sure we have oil in America that we can pump out of Oklahoma, Texas, Alaska, and the Gulf. But consider this. Our cost to produce one barrel is triple what it is in the middle east. Why you may ask? Their oil field workers are paid on average 9 bucks an hour where ours are paid an average of 30 bucks an hour. See the difference? And the cost to refine it isn't going to change no matter what. So either way it goes I wouldn't expect prices at the pump to ever get below 2 bucks a gallon again.

If things keep going the way they are, it wont be how many dollars a gallon at the pump but how many euros per gallon at the pump we have to worry about because the American dollar won't be worth wiping our Fat American butts with.

I have a plan...line up everybody that voted for Bush and kick their teeth out and collect all the gold fillings.  It's a start! At the very least it would be therapeutic.

The reason for my post and that link is that its the "Military Strategic Reserve" That is 96% full. With the oil that is givin back to the people as opposed to fillin the extra 7 million gallons of oil from imports, well actually have more oil for the market and that should actually drop it down 25 or 50 cents a gallon im guessing. Basically since the senate 96 to 1 in the senate say put the oil back in our hands and not the reserve, we may actually see a nice little break in gas prices. Not so say its much of a break but atleast its a little something for us. Not to mention a nice little "palm in face" to Bush 
thats a happy day and almost a reason to make a holiday about it lol.
