This is actually a rhetorical question but please read on, this may be our chance to do something about this crisis.

For to long now we have been hearing that the price of oil per barrel is being controlled by supply and demand. Well recently we have had a breathtaking spike in prices due to Hurricane Ike because the oil producing factories in Texas had to shut down. Meaning that supply temporarily went down meaning price per barrel should go up!

Then if they aren’t lying to us how come when i log into my yahoo homepage why do i see the price per barrel shot down ????? But since there is less oil that means demand is up if 20% of our America’s oil supply is cut off right now!

Sounds like we are getting screwed and bush is getting one last big paycheck before he leaves office!

Oh and how come they get to hike the prices on this gas when they had already paid a set price for it???

When your company you work for shuts down do you increase the price for your services by a drastic amount because you shut down for a week or two? Why should they be allowed to in this time of economic strife when they are still making billions a year now in record profits?

Pass that on to your state elected officials maybe now we have the tool and evidence we need to up the pressure and finally put enough of these oil crooks behind bars and scare the others into fixing the prices back where they should be!!!!

My prayer for now and not just because of prices is this, “please god let someone discover a source of renewable energy to replace oil that is safe for our beautiful planet you gave us!”
