I was over there just to see how the other side views the current national crisis. I know better, but...

Their take on gas gouging?

2. An example?
"To: Sender
Irrational price spikes are part of a supply shock. It will settle back as soon as hoarding behavior subsides."

"To: Sender
This is probably unfounded price gouging and panic buying, but millions of Atlantans are seeing this right now.
So? What are you worried about? That they'll all turn into rabid environmentalists? LOL.

(steely)"

"To: coconutt2000
"If I were one of the millions of Atlantans, I'd be driving home, parking the car, and looking up mass transit on the internet. At least until gas prices dropped again."

I saw one lady on the local news today who said "That's it. I'm going to sell my car and ride my bike from now on." And she was series. Probably a liberal.

Michael savage is now calling for price controls on gasoline. I guess he's off his meds today.

That's a sample. It was too revolting for me to read much of it myself.

4. That's like saying...
...Charles Manson sounds pretty sane for a crazy, mass-murdering maniac.
