i can tell you one thing, violence will do nothing. you go and blow up a gas station then you have every law enorcement office in a 100 mile radius up your ass. all you will do is make them want to hunt you down and arrest you, nothing will happen to the price.

getting people to unite is a real problem, especially with people like Knipps who just sit back, offer nothing of value, and just say "That won't work." instead of saying, that won't work, why not come up with something that will. i still say if the whole country stopped buying gas for a week, then they would have to take notice and drop their prices. imagine all of those companies out there that would have to shut down because their workers didn't show up. it would be mass hysteria on the part of the government to ACT for us, not speak for us, but actually get something done.

i haven't heard anything positive from anyone yet, mostly just "this sucks". while it does, what are you prepared to do about it? slink back behind your monitor and do nothing? continue to pay the price they're asking? just how long do you think you'll be able to afford to go to work with the price north of $4.00 per gallon? how long will you be able to provide for your families with prices so high? those who are single will have some decisions to make, as well, as in what can you afford to do this weekend? you won't be driving, that's for sure.

i am not sure what i will be doing this weekend. of all of the times for them to hike the prices, the beginning of summer has to be the worst. and this weekend, worst of all, because i have committed to going to the club's meeting and i have committed to going to Cops N Rodders. one of those is going to be a no-show, possibly both. i've already committed financially to Cops N Rodders, so i may be able to eek that one out, but it won't be with the camaro. so, yeah, this sucks.

but what are you prepared to do about it?
