KaskadskyjKozak Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 yep. and expect more of that. you thought it was fun being smug about the high prices, and how this will "surely force people to change their habits"; the reality is it's likely to backfire. Quote
prole Posted July 2, 2008 Author Posted July 2, 2008 Ha! I wouldn't expect it any other way. You guys are the ones insisting that these things be left to the market! Once again market-man Mr. Magoo follows the path of least resistance to the shortest possible term gain. See also: Conservation vs. Rising Food Prices Quote

prole Posted July 2, 2008 Author Posted July 2, 2008 I'd start with supporting the continued ban on off-shore drilling, staying out of ANWR, and doing the opposite of whatever Jay_B's Dr. Strangelove econocomputer geeks tell us we should do. Quote
prole Posted July 2, 2008 Author Posted July 2, 2008 Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich's Web site calling on people to sign a petition to "drill here, drill now" has recorded more than 1.2 million hits. Â Oh yeah, and waterboarding Newt Gingrich. Quote
kevbone Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 What is with this huge republican push to drill off the coast? Seriously......what is stopping them now? Nothing.....the government has issued over 10,000 permits that are NOT being used. Why the push to have more? Its a sham....the republicans are trying to tie in high gas prices with not enough drilling here....its all bullshit. Quote
kevbone Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 It is certainly not because we are not drilling in Alaska or off the coast. Quote
