Today at the gas station we saw a down and out looking one-eyed fellow. He was sitting on a curb around the gas station, holding an empty gas can. He had a truck full of scrap metal, and we imagined he needed gas money in order to take the stuff to a scrap yard and make money to live off of. We felt bad so we gave him around a total of ten bucks or so. He bought gas - we saw him buy gas, he didn't use it for alcohol or anything. The gas station didn't sell alcahol - it wasn't a mini-mart thing.

Anyways, it made me realize that gas is getting expensive to the point where some people can't survive. Here, it's like 4 dollars a gallon. It's the oil companies who do this. It has nothing to do with the scarcity of oil. In general, the oil companies need to be regulated. If it gets up to say, ten dollars a gallon, nobody can work.

Discuss.

Yes, gas is getting expensive. No, bio fuels dont seem to be helping, and unless you can do like ATG is planning and make your own fuel, bio fuels wont help. All alternative fuels are made using fossil fuels with the possible exception of solar powered vehicles but they are not practical for most applications. The fuel companies are not solely to blame for the prices, if you think they are then you need to research more and listen to pundents less.

Or you could also blame the Environmental organizations for preventing, and campaigning against drilling in Alaska which contains a shit load of oil...Or you could blame Congress for not changing the legislation for drilling in Alaska. Or you could blame our Government for not importing more from South America?

Nature is a powerful force. Those who seek to subdue nature, never do so permanently.

I'm actually debating getting an old car and converting it to run on vegetable oil, somehow. My car would always smell like fried chicken, but I wouldn't ever have to pay for gas.

Someone's brother in my school actually did that, and she said he just goes to a chinese restaurant when he runs out of fuel and they give him their spare for free.

I wish Theodore Roosevelt was alive and our president again right now so he could do something about it.

Andrew Jackson would be better. He didn't take shit from noone, and when pushed he pushed back.

He also led the slaughter of countless indians with the first ever "Final Solution", but who cares about them!

Right, that is the epitome of the human mindset. Rape absolutely everything we can to keep living how we like, instead of doing what we know will eventually be a necessity.

For such a seemingly intelligent species, we really are terrible at looking ahead and the grand scheme.

That's a pretty sadistic way of looking at things.

Or we could just breed super bears and ride them like in Red Alert 3.

You are associating an incorrect cause with an effect.

Model gas versus the US dollar, up more than 500%
Model gas versus gold, up 0%
