OK, I must need an interpreter or I'm just like the rest of America. Can someone explain why the economy is in such a crappy state? I mean, please, somone........ tie in the cost of crude oil, the week US dollar, the credit crunch, the mortgage crisis, high gas and diesel fuel costs, and tell me how they co-exist with one another. I'm just a regular citizen (not illegal) just trying to make an honest living. I hear everyone, the so-called experts telling me ..."we'll lower the federal interest rate, we'll stimulate this, we'll stimulate that"...I haven't recieved that much "stimulation" since I was a teenager for goodness sake. What does it all mean? I have no idea. I mean, the Arabs have us over a barrell, Hugo pisses everyone off, the Chinese make cheap toys that can kill you, the big-boys are getting bailed out by the federal government, corn is selling at record highs because ethanol is so good for the envirnment, people are loosing their homes and Barry Bonds can't find a job. All I know is this...

  gas prices are a frickin' disaster!! I mean, please, where is the madness going to end? The republicans are crucified for looking out for the "big guy" and the democrats are crucified for taking from everyone else and giving it to the "little guy". There has to be a happy median somewhere in this mess.

Yeah, screw it..........Just charge it.  Thank goodness the lettuce in my salad is still cheap....I do love illegal farm workers.

Just some thoughts as I pay $70 to fill up my 5.2 litre, V-8 powered, 4-wheel-drive, 7 passenger, non-aerodynamic, 400 h.p. gas guzzling Durango...........thank you Detroit. Think that bastard will run on cooking oil? I think not........just good, old fashioned, carbon producing, dug from the sandiest Arab hell-hole fossil fuel !!!!

Thanks.................CG
