isn't this working into more of a fight. Some still think it's the "war" causing these high prices:eyes:

what's interesting, is in '99 and 2000, while Bush was governor, I recall energy prices going up in Texas. I remember this 'cause many of us were mad that he was "allowing" a company called Texas-New Mexico Power gouge us.

Yes, we're being gouged. But the gouging is ontop of other pressures, and those pressures, from what I gather, aren't going to decrease again.
The gouging will only stop when prices drive people out of their gas burning cars.

8. Yes, much higher, and they still drive llike crazy.... |

On the subject of gouging: I remember that the price of a barrel of oil during the '73 embargo reached $50., but the price of gasoline has never been this high. Figur in the relative value of $50 in 73 and it is MUCH higher. There's no question that there's gouging.

I think they are seeing the writing on the wall as far as November goes. They have a real fear of losing and are going to stuff their pockets full while they have the opportunity. :grr:
