So here we are heading towards the peak heating season .... and OPEC decides it will take a "half million barrels a day off the market beginning in February, cementing its apparent intention to do or say what it takes to keep oil prices around $60 a barrel." Under pressue fom the Markets they agree to reduce production... to stimulate the price of Oil ..... in other words raise the price so investors can make more money .... in other words so people can pay more to heat their homes and drive their cars....just when they dont need the added expense.... off the back of this annouincemnt the price of oil jumped over 2 dollars a barrel ..... despite the fact that the lower production will begin in Feb.

Yep...this is Free Makrets at work... what a crock of shit ...

Free Market and OPEC go together like Donald Trump and Walmart. Don't worry klaat, what you are feeling is normal, it's that familiar nauseating feeling in the pit of your stomach when someone is squeezing your testicles. You should be used to it by now! And the fact that the brown beak woodpeckers and yellow-tail warblers are safe in their habitat from the destructive drilling rigs of big oil, should be consolation enough for you.

You're such a wuss... how are you going to make it when Al Gore gets rid of all the internal combustion engines, and we have to walk everywhere? Besides, pinhead scientists have concluded, if everyone in the northeast could bag just one blue whale, they would have enough heating oil for the next 20 years, after that it won't matter, we won't need any heat, what with the global warming and all. Just relax and chill out, greater minds than ours have figured it all out. Take this time to read a good book by Chomsky, or better yet, the Quran, after all, that would be a productive use of your time, being that you're going to have to know about our new religion soon.

Wuss? Well I can take that many different ways Dix .... but I'll just leave it alone. Gore is right about one thing... we need to move into a new direction....and Alternatives open up an entire new market. For now internal combustion engines arnt going anyware.. but in the future they'll be about as common as VHS..iow second banana ...or better yet...to be seen at a NASCAR event ...
