| This hasn't been posted about yet. But think about this, how do most of our products get to us? By transportation. What does that transportation need to run? GAS! Basically prices for everything will probably go up because of the gas shortage/price raise. What happens when everything doubles in price and gas triples? People will not be able to pay for gas to get to work, get fired, and then not be able to afford anything! This is just going to cause a downward spiral that will only get worse before it gets better (I'm guessing at least 5 years). By then it might start to get better, but nothing will be the same again. |

Don't be a slave to gas addiction. Ride your bike to work... like many other places in the world. What is happening now is that goods and services are not worth the gas they use so they will disapear. I have a closet full of rifles and ammo so if things really get that hairy I can get whatever I need to survive, I aim for no excess. I stopped by a feed store and started setting up a vegitable garden today, figured it could be good timing and I had wanted to set on up for awhile. Finally us Americans will sell our V-8s and start carpooling, use public transit. ------------- Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken! |

| Nick, I fear the day we have to revert to murder to survive, well that day has come. I think everything should be done to stop it. IMO 100 military police officers is not enough, we need AT LEAST 1 regiment of marines in there, right now 50-100 firefighters and their families are being held hostage in Perish. Bush needs to send actual soldiers in, send the navy to New Orleans. Do anything we have to to get control back. I really wish I could go down and help out the good guys, but I'm afraid I would hender more than help most likely. |

Same here.. couldn't get in anyway. What they need is a large scale police action. The Army/Marines only kill, as is their job, but no good to defuse this situation unless we write off all the innocents as well. I hate to think like that, especially for fellow Americans. Could sure use some of the MPs though. Would be nice to see some FBI cracking down on those gangs. Army/Marines would be good for providing escort and protection so that the others can get their jobs done, but I think if they tried to get them to manage the people it would result in a bloodbath. Rifleman don't carry handcuffs, that spot is reserved for an extra magazine. ------------- Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken! |

Ugh, I'm not so glad to live in Hawaii now. The Gas Cap bill was
passed which caps how much refineries can charge per gallon of gas but
STILL gas has jumped up to now $3.11 a gallon. And for those suggesting to ride my bike to school or for my parents to ride their bikes to work, its about 10 miles to my school and 30 to their offices. Bear in mind that we live on a MOUNTAIN so its all uphill comming back. ------------- Real Men play Tuba [IMG]http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1859/newsmall6xz.jpg"> PH33R TEH 1337 Dwarf! http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/log_off_user.asp" rel="nofollow - DONT CLICK ME!!1 |

in central MD people are paying 3.80, supposed to rise to 4.50 tomorow. in my area there is only 1 station left with any gas at all, and only about 800 gallons. expect it'll be gone by the time most people read this post. -------------

The protected wilderness would hardly do anything if we drilled there. But we should save it for a war effort. Then again if everyone would just be open minded and vote democrat all the problems would dissapear. -------------

Precisely. But I'm gonna blame this on the Soviet Union. Sputnik sent out signals spawning the Hurricane. -------------

I have proof that the Underground Union of Soviet Socialist Republic (UUSSR) is actually using Mir, which they cleverly said to have burned in the atmosphere, to join up with Sputnik and send down a ray that heats the ocean to ideal hurricane temperatures. -------------

the only problem with riding bikes to work is that my dads work is 85 miles away, and thats just going there, then he has to come back so its kinda a bunch of crap, i think if the confederacy had of won or we were communist we wouldnt have this problem since we would just steal other countries gas. i might be wrong about this but doesnt iraq have like a crapload of oil just sitting there. we need to jack some of theres. ------------- a5 domination |
