On this topic, I'm extremely cynicle , and I just assume the oil companies are bending the public over, and there's not much you or I can do about it. There may well be a legitimate reason that prices are rising, but I doubt it. When it comes to petroleum products, I think that the US government should step in and put a reasonable limit on profits that the oil giants can make. It makes me f'ing sick to see these people making millions and billions of dollars, while average Joe is being raped. Meanwhile, the government of, by, and for the people, does nothing while the people are being screwed over. We may need to take up arms before it's all over!

Because WE insist on paying it- WHATEVER it costs! Oilmen are NOT aspirants for Sainthood. They're out to make EVERY dollar they can get away with. So if they can keep jacking up the price of oil & gas, & we keep shelling out whatever the asking price IS- then they'll just keep right on doing it. $5. a gallon gas- anyone? It's up to you... :)
