"I lived there about 5 years ago and drove by a lot of inactive wellheads."

>>>Those wellheads can get mighty active when gas is at $3.50/gal. Which is exactly what Bush, Cheney, and their Texas are all about. Drive past those inactive wellheads again, eh?

Incidentally, I was out in the Huntington Beach area last week. Those wells were pumping like never before. Amazing what happens when the markets are manipulated, isn't it?

Don't have to worry about that from you, do I?

Tell me, how exactly are Bush and Cheney making the commodities traders bid up oil?

This is pretty basic stuff PR. Anytime there has been more unrest in the Mideast, oil goes up. I think you could make a decent argument that things ain't all that stable over there at the moment.

Thus, one of the biggest factors in the price of oil is, ... say it with me... volatility. Always has been. Bush's Marx Brother routine in Iraq isn't helping things in the least. When Zarqawi was killed, the market barely blipped. That's how freaked out the traders are about the whole situation over there.

With as much market analysis as these traders do, one would expect something less than total incompetence in predicting, or hedging against probable future events.

The problem with gasoline at its current price (where I live) of just under $3.00 per gallon is that (adjusted for inflation over the past 35 years) it is only marginally more expensive than back in 1971.

People will choose what is economically the best for themselves most of the time. Corporations choose what is best for the corporation (and shareholders) likewise.

I am certainly not asking for $12 gasoline. It would have serious inflationary impact to our country.

BTW. I appreciate Eli's comment about demanding truth from politicians instead of partisan babble.
