Anyone know why gas prices are rising so much again? This is rediculous!

A boycott is planned for May 15...no one is to buy gas to encourage the gas companies to lower their prices...it worked before so should we do it? I think Yes.

By volunteers who go about putting their views and making sure some questions and answers get removed. I read this in the Sunday Times. Censorship what?

This is for the people that don't remember after they turned their backs on them. You say they suck. But not along ago you thought they were pretty good. Why not turn your back on Bush instead of them. He lied to you. Not them. No WMD's!
Over 3,000 dead in Iraq. Why?

I saw yet another report that the White House is looking for a "War Czar" to coordinate the US government management of the war. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070506/ap_on_go_pr_wh/war_czar

Um, isn't that what we have a National Security Council for? Supposedly the point of this position is to cut through the red tape, but how does adding another layer of bueracracy help cut through red tape, especially when this guy will apparently be outside the chain of command.

Even the Heritage foundation thinks it's a loopy idea. Lord help us.

Thought?

And just think- for all these years, I thought the Secretary of Defense had that job. Things just keep getting more and more bizzare with this administration.

Who still think Bush is doing a good job? They have to know more Americans have died in Iraq than on 9/11, gas prices are at record highs as are oil company profits, salaries are at all time lows (except for CEO's)... There is simply no concievable way that someone in touch with reality can continue to support the Bush administration!

It seems that this would be a terrible thing: instead of being one moderately powerful states, we should be 4 insiginificant ones...

What do you think?

I know the parents will have to live with the decision to leave their kids alone like they did for the rest of their lives but I am proper shocked at the way the media and news are skimming over the fact a couple left 3 children under in a hotel room alone.

Is this becuase they are a respectable older couple, both working as doctors?

If an un-married couple in their late teens found themselves in the same situation would the papers not be accusing them of neglect?

As a mum, it is something I would never have done.

Will the casinos that are going to be build in Philadelphia be an overall bad addition to the city or a positive addition? (Why do you think they will be good/bad)

I am not asking about the delay (several minutes) between impact and collapse, which was very different for the two buildings. That is exceedingly complex. The first building hit was the last to fall. What I want to know is from initial movement toward the ground to the pile of rubble (less than 15 seconds), was the time involved consistent with building failure in your judgement. Plenty of time. Way too fast. Your thoughts, please.

It can not be about gun control, birth control, abortion, gay marrige, global warming, the Iraq war, or steroids, but it should be something important to the contry or the world, and debatable from two points of view for my paper. Any suggestions appreciated.

Here's what that nut al-Zwahiri said today:

"Al-Qaida is not merely for the benefit of Muslims," he said. "That's why I want blacks in America, people of color, American Indians, Hispanics, and all the weak and oppressed in North and South America, in Africa and Asia, and all over the world."

I hope no one believes for one minute that a change in White House leadership will lower the price of gasoline. Certainly not because we have a DEMOCRAT IN THE HOUSE. US whites and blacks have come to reflect middle eastern culture so much this society has been neutered. i think it makes those killing our military happy that no one here in the USA is up in arms over gas prices. Commodity prices have always been driven by conflict!! Just walking away from Iraq will not lower gas prices. Walking away from the middle east will not lower gas prices. I think our culture reflections are WORSE THAN SOVIET PROPAGANDA!

Alan Wolfe, a political scientist of Boston College said of Lou Dobbs like this:

"In just a few words, Rohrabacher touched on every one of American nativism's elements: the fawning populism, the threats of blackmail and reprisal, the unusually ugly language. Immigration debates are like that. No other issue (except, of course, race) brings out so prominently the demagogues among us. If you find this an exaggeration, watch any television program featuring Lou Dobbs."

Ok, supposedly there's going to be some sort of gas boycott on like May 15th or something like that. That's not going to work because then everyone will pump gas on the 14th an 16th, so it'll make up for the loss anyway and it's not like they'll really care. The gas station only makes like 4 cents per gallon and the rest goes to them buying gas from the other countries and stuff like that. I can guarantee that gas companies in other countries aren't going to care what we're doing over here, and our gas stations make all of their money off of the convenience stores, and people will still go to those. Really, nothing is going to come out of it and even if something does, it'll only make gas prices go UP, not down. So do you really want to drive gas prices up even higher than they already are?
