| I just watched the movie Syriana. Had everything to do with the oil tycoons wheeling and dealing, back stabbing, esbianage, murders, coups of family & fortunes in the middle east. Was not the most exciting movie, but gives a behind the scences viewpoint of why we are here now. |

Well, because of "N Korea" and their missle tests, oil prices are going way up. At least thats "their" excuse.  |

| Boy, they'll jump on ANY excuse to gouge us, won't they? I guess they could say all the rain we're getting is making it more expensive to pump! |

One word! greed!
Prices here have been over $3.00 per gallon all summer, and today they hit $3.19! Five straight years of record profits by the oil companies, and looks like another "record" profit this year. But I guess with an oil man as president, Cheney aka "Haliburton Richard" as VP, and all that oil money that put them in office, what can we expect!
Take care.
