Gas Prices
Well, guess what I just read on the news - gas prices are going up. This time they say because of the heat wave, like last week it was because of Israel and Lebanon blowing up cedar trees and people. And next week it'll be because of Chris threatening the oil refineries in the Gulf. And the week after that just because $1,318 per second isn't quite enough moola to tide Exxon and friend over until their CEO's next payday.
Why don't they just admit that they are raising the price of gas just because they can - and we'll still pay the price. As much as I hate to admit it, we do have a culture based on supply and demand. As long as they supply the gas, we'll pay whatever they demand.
