      You can't have manslaughter without laughter.

      "Son," he said without preamble, "never trust a man who doesn't drink because he's probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They're the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They're usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they're a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can't trust a man who's afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It's damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he's heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl."

        Actually, state to state driving is quite common. Especially in the northeast where states are smaller and closer together.

            $4.05 for regular here in Hoboken.

            I think this just highlights how America has been a slave to oil because of the evolution of the car culture and the resulting suburban sprawl. If there wasn't so much 20th century growth because of cheap gas then we wouldn't be living so far apart, there wouldn't be so many people, and we wouldn't be having as big of a problem.

            Let the price go up to $10, $15, $20/gal. Make it impossible to drive until a new way is figured out. Use bikes. Make public transportation a necessity. The only way people really get things done is by force. It's not going to come from conscientious conservation.

                i dont see any relevance to this comment...

                its the capitalist republicans (bush and co.) that are in bed with the oil companys.

                if you want to blame a politician, look at the right side.

                back to the topic at hand, its 4.29 over here in portland, or... 4.09 at costco.

                  hadn't paid over $3.97 yet... but still it cost $69.00 to put just over 17 gallons in my truck last night

                  Back when I was knee-high to a duck, gas was 82 cents a gallon!

                        Its just silly - in the uk you'r stealth taxed to the hilt ; it costs you a bomb just to make it into work, to then earn money to pay your taxes, which in turn line the governmnts pockets for them to waste.

                        Its more cost effective being unemployed and bumming around.

                                if people think that shale oil and offshore drilling are short term answers to high oil prices, they're delusional. the complexities of shale oil and the extremely long lead time for offshore projects means there IS no easy solution. the US has already passed peak production. they can drill all they want offshore, its not even gonna make a dent in daily US consumption.
