    I'm going to...

    Kill me some people.....

    I'm sure you ALL heard about the Gas "BOYCOTT" yesterday right? Well, if not, GET OUT FROM UNDER YOUR ROCK.

    It's funny because people don't think it through and they still plan on it....thinking it's going to help. Why am I so ticked you ask?

    Well, MONDAY gas was already high enough at $3.24/gallon, well, as of yesterday afternoon gas has already gone up to $3.49/gallon and is supposed to go up more....WHY?

    Because of the BOYCOTT....WOW...that worked....NOT!!

    kiss my butt... Im gonna boycott your ISP for a day... they are overcharging me....

    Everyone is looking for the oil market to stay strong for another 5 years (that should put i to about 11 years strong)

    You wanna make a difference. Convince China to slow down. in 14 years, they added 12000000 cars to THEIR roads. last year was something like 2500000 new cars. Asia in general is consuming more oil than the US. "We" are not the ones to blame for fuel prices. The rest of the world's consumption has gone up. The oil production industry is going all out, all over the world.

    USA helped them improve their economy by buying cheap crap made in Chine/Taiwan, etc. where buying power gone actually down over the years. (this is where you kick your own .sses)
    Now most Asian countries are economically just as strong hence the desire to buy cars to make the already troubling oil reserve situation even more worrysome! Don't forget to thank all the automobile companies for busting their butts promoting vehicle ownership and car driving over at Asia trying to get them to buy their cars....

    One more World War (mainly a Nuclear warfare) and just as Einstein joked about, mankind is back to sticks and stones....since the fuel is almost gone back to horses and camels too!

    Have a wonderful life!

    PS. I personally am not worried since the spaceship that dropped me on this planet many years ago should be back to pick me up any day now!

    That is how the first stone age happened.

    Drive overall average intelegence down to the point that a good world wide disaster will push mankind to the point that technology cant be maintained or inovated.

    Upped my tire pressure from 22psiF and 26psiR to 35psiF/R since the weather is a litle better but this sucks because now I feel EVERY bump in the road and it's not good for my lower back!

    I'm also planning a little bit ahead of time to see if I can crunch things into fewer trips....

    I also have increased my air pressure from the 35psi that EVERY dealer tries to set it to, up to 45psi which is still under the tire's maximum allowed. I have also change my spark plugs, wires, air filter, oil, got my transmission rebuilt...

    I have to drive...might as well make it as cheap as possible.
