Here is what I heard on the grapevine-Bush has told the oil companies not to take advantage and they ignored him thinking to prove themselves more powerful than anyone- so here is the plan--every company will be investigated and when the numbers show they have been fudging on the numbers for years, lots of folks will go from castles to prisons, and they will wag their tails like dogs as they do-----live like a dog die like one is the motto
the powers that be hope we will all realize there are better ways to power our travel and decide to put our money there. Natural gas Hondas are already available.
Here is the other part of the deal you may not know up there, Chavez, president not elected of Venezuela, is forming a latin american coalition against the US and he controls the oil delivery infrastrcuture we need and depend on. He want sto hurt the US and Bush however he can. He kills whoever opposes him and talks bad about him, and thinks his people like him. They are too scared to tell him they want him dead. Once he is gone, and he needs to be soon, prices will come down some.
The governor of
Pr thinks he will join us with them one day as cuba has. It is a socialist delusion and dream mostly rooted in hatred for the US. Here is what Americans can do, let Bush and their congressmen and senators know it is ok with you if chavez disappears. One reason he is still here is that americans wouod not look nicely on his disappearance and Bush could be characterized as a Hitler. Truth, Chavez is almost identical to Hitler, is a news reporter makes a joke about him, they die that day.
You want lower gas prices??? Stop whining about your pres and give him your support to deal fully with chavez and put aside partisan politics long enough for him to do it. Otherwise chavez will have you paying him $80 a gallon. By the way, he is using the money for buying weapons on the black market from russia to use on americans, whom he states in public speaches are responsible for the whole world's suffering due to your 'evil capitalist ways'.
By the way, I hae traveled to many countries, and americans are not the most wasteful people on earth. Columbians, Spaniards, Puerto Ricans and the French make you look like frugal worry warts.
For the rest of this hemishpere's sake, I hope you get rid of chavez, get oil prices reasonable, and release vehicles with alternative sources of power. We sure can't do it down here, we can't even get the governor to release sensible press comments here.
This is what he is doing, taxing everyone, raising prices on everything, doubling power and water in one month, taxing truckers for 'heavy road damage', stealing the money the US sends to fix the roads (he has been doing that for decades), then raising prices on EVERYTHING when the truckers strike in protest. He is a dictator like chavez, please remove him, he stole the election and we all know it, why aren't you guys helping us? I can sort of relate to how the hurricane victims feel. If you call the utilities commission here, noone ever answers and noone returns messages, in other words, they do not exist for all intensive purposes. I have friends who run only a window AC at night who get $350/mo power bills.
By the way, the vast majority of us here want to be a state, we are being misrepresented intentionally by the few with money and power to pull it off. Force us to take a vote for either statehood or independence and have the US government look over the election for fraud and see. Take the middle option to stay a territory off the table. Please. We need to be rescued form the socialists who want to take over.
