FUEL PROTEST

[sschind]

If you guys across the pond are upset about taxes you could just throw a little party. Although I don't suppose throwing petrol in the harbor would be as ecologically sound as tea. The again you may not want to start a revolution.

Actually, I googled Saxons, who could be one of the equivalents the English had to Indians, and came up with this image...

But I do like Arthurian Legends! And the Saxons!

Fuel prices continuing to rise ultimately could cause a serious depression. The oil companies have decided to handcuff the world and make them bow to their wishes. Money could become worthless as fuel credits would become the new monetary exchange. The oil companies roll in the dough and laugh at the rest of us as we cry out in our misery.

One good result may come from this: the end of leaf-blowers! erv:

Anyone remember Katrina the hurricane? We lost about 1/3 of domestic oil production there. Plus places like china and india are now actually paying employees enough to go out and buy cars, plus a not so minor war in another major production area called the middle east. Add all these together and the supply goes down while demand shoots up. This creates higher prices at the pump. Yah, the oil companies are making a fortune, but they are not the only ones to blame. You could drop prices by not buying as much... And with investments in electric car tech, you could even win the game by not playing at all!

Heh, Honda Rebel motorcycle. 85 miles to the gallon. Munch on that exxon!
