Truckers Strike Forum We all hear of a trucker strike. Let's put all the trucker strike threads in here, please so they will more organized. What do YOU think of a trucker strike due to outrageous fuel prices? The April 1st strike fizzled as expected. $5/gal. or more MAY make truckers stand together...if even then.

one reason, why we live in the country, raise our own food, and fruit. have to. in order to make it through all of this, and we have wood stoves. and a wood furnace, and a wood cookstove.gets cold, in the winter, and fuel is going to be sky high this year. so wood is the ticket. and yes, I have 3 woods on my land.

GREED...
Greed is the [LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Truck Forum Link. desire for or pursuit of money, wealth, power, food, or other possessions, especially when this denies the same goods to others. It is generally considered a vice, and is one of the seven deadly sins in Catholicism.
People who do not view unconstrained acquisitiveness as a vice will generally use a word other than greed, which has strong negative connotations. Greed denotes desire to acquire wealth or possessions beyond the needs of the individual, especially when this accumulation of possession denies others legitimate needs or access to those or other resources. For example, amassing a large collection of seashells would not be considered greed, unless in doing so, the needs of others were jeopardized. Essential to the concept of greed is the awareness that the needs of others are denied, thus rivalrous goods exemplify greed while non-rivalrous goods may not. Greed also often involves using wealth to gain power over others, sometimes by denying wealth or power.

Seriously? Seriously?????? Because I run a business and expect to make a profit, I am somehow guilty of all of the raping an pillaging of our country? And YES, the bottom line matters. If at the end of the day, there aren't pennies in the till, then I need to be doing something else. Based on your comments, I can only assume that I may be allowed to retain pennies but any nickels, dimes or (heaven forbid!) dollars in profit I earn should be distributed to those on a fixed income? And I should feel guilty if I don't, I presume.

Kumbayah, good buddy, kumbayah!

mdel747 reputation is Neither Here Nor There
Dog eat Dog

I might jump in on this one ,
If you look at world gas prices , you will see it's a OPEC against USA any oil producing middle eastern country and is sympathetic to terrorist ..
there gas prices are less than half of any ones that deal with the USA ,

Nation City Price in USD Regular/Gallon
Netherlands Amsterdam $6.48
Norway Oslo $6.27
Italy Milan $5.96
Denmark Copenhagen $5.93
Belgium Brussels $5.91
Sweden Stockholm $5.80
United Kingdom London $5.79
Germany Frankfurt $5.57
France Paris $5.54
Portugal Lisbon $5.35
Hungary Budapest $4.94
Luxembourg $4.82
Croatia Zagreb $4.81
Ireland Dublin $4.78
Switzerland Geneva $4.74
Spain Madrid $4.55
Japan Tokyo $4.24
Czech Republic Prague $4.19
Romania Bucharest $4.09
Andorra $4.08
Estonia Tallinn $3.62
Bulgaria Sofia $3.52
Brazil Brasilia $3.12
Cuba Havana $3.03
Taiwan Taipei $2.84
Lebanon Beirut $2.63
South Africa Johannesburg $2.62
Nicaragua Managua $2.61
Panama Panama City $2.19
Russia Moscow $2.10
Puerto Rico San Juan $1.74
Saudi Arabia Riyadh $0.91
Kuwait Kuwait City $0.78
Egypt Cairo $0.65
Nigeria Lagos $0.38
Venezuela Caracas $0.12

NOW they have OPEC and the UN on there side for oil prices
what i suggest is create a PAC of our own
USA == food and technology
china -- medical supplies
and the rest of our Alie's trading between our selves would stay the same it's just OPEC nations get the surcharge

each of our allies pick a export and any thing that go's to a OPEC country
there prices for every day things in there country's go up with the price of oil
so now FOOD price would jump by 400% to these country's
so medical supplies go up 400%
and so on LET THEM EAT SAND
