Oil Warming While our friend Al Gore spreads his message of Global Warming and temperatures rising we have other risings worthy of worry. I'm referring to the issue of oil warming. It might just be a coincidence that ever since a large contingent of U.S. troops landed on Islamic soil, we have witnessed a steady and more recently a dramatic rising in the price of oil, but I don't believe that $100+ a barrel is just a casual warming, its more like an unneighborly house warming, and by that, I mean that they don't want us to be their neighbors, and its not a wonderful day in the neighborhood. I think that bin Laden said it best, and by taking out our twin towers he stirred up the rest, and with oil at $100+ a barrel the Islamic message is getting clearer and clearer. They want our money but they don't want to see our face anywhere close to them. For all of you that think you've got this all figured out, here's something scary for you to think about. Why would Countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iran and Iraq continue to sell the World barrels of oil at $100+ when they can cut the production and watch the prices rise to $200 a barrel? Lets see, that would be at least $6.00 gasoline at your local gas pump. Can you afford that? These actions could cause personal bankruptcys to rise and if solutions are not forthcoming a U.S. Governmental bankruptcy would not be out of the question. Now thats terrorism. This is an oil warming warning... JamesLee 27March 2008 [This message has been edited by JamesMichael (03-29-2008 05:08 AM).] |

James, The price of gas in Europe has been over six dollars a gallon for years. Move to the city, and ride a bus. Walking is good for you. Bobby [This message has been edited by Robert E. Jordan (03-28-2008 01:42 PM).] |

Thanks for responding Bobby...now if you could convince about 20 million+ others to move to the city and take the bus we might see some changes in oil warming...James |
