    I wouldn't mind getting my hands on some of those "jittery traders". I think "traitors" is more like it!

    Heh, I know a little known secret:
    Along with our old refineries and steel mills, we sold them those old platforms from Santa Barbara:biggrin_2559:

    You got that right...give me a rope and a tall red oak. We are lessening the demand and prices continue to rise. Supply and demand my ###. Is anyone having problems getting fuel like in '73? There's plenty of it.

    Again, why do we fall prey to our dependence on foreign oil.
    Time to start voicing your opinions to your representatives..stressing the national importance/security of utilizing our own resources.

    Little known factoid: Some of the oil pumped out here in the US is sold to the Chi-Coms

    not that often maybe just once out of every ten million lies.I know lying will get a man laid more often than the truth and lying sells more cars than the truth,but with oil supplies being up one day and down the next does anyone know the truth anymore?Maybe we need to learn from the moonshiners and start making our own,if we wasn`t so lazy we could do it.

    A refinery fire in California caused the price to jump $1.25/barrel in minutes.
