patriotic9,

I suspect you would agree with this very profound quote:
"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful."

- Seneca, (Roman philosopher, writer, politician)

Absolutely. This must be quote of the day. I copied and pasted it for future references. Thanks

The "SECRET AGENDA" is to push and get OIL up to around "$200.00" a Barrell, meaning-you''ll be paying upwards of $12.00 to $15.00 a Gallon for Gas & more for Diesel ! Its Coming, it was "SECRETLY" Discussed at the last "BUILDERBERGER" Meeting in Switzerland about a year and a half ago, Cheney was present, along with several other Highly Important Figure heads from around the GLOBE, from all different sections of the Political Sphere and Corporate Sections as well ! Theres NEVER any Public or Press ever Allowed in to these "SECRETIVE" Meetings, and SECURITY is Extremely High ! Don''t believe me-just take a look around you at the cost of fuel and everything associated with it-MILK is NOW $4.00+ a Gallon and rising ! Their putting their Plan in place, unknown to many of the worlds population, it''ll be "too late" when we wake up and realize whats happened !

For now... perhaps we should give thanks (to who I don''t know)...

...but at least give thanks that we can still have the opportunity to have a Thanksgiving holiday.

Hundreds of thousands in Bangladesh and around the world are so desperate, it would be amazing to see or hear if any of those people have any thanks to give considering their situation.

Just a little perspective to remember for this holiday.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

I agree with Gun owner Dan, but also realize this, and I''ve extensively researched this, its not just Bush whos into this, this actually has been brewing for quite a while this game plan of theirs, its just now getting more implemented for them to push their SECRET AGENDA thru. Theres kinda a Time Constraint, on how fast they''d like to actually Implement their plans,while some of these SECRETIVE Figure Heads, who spearhead these Organizations are still Alive to be able to reap the Benefits from whats about to take place, Also with hopes of being able to hand down that power after their gone, which probably more than likely will get really messed up as with time. This "BUILDERBERGER GROUP" is something everyone needs to be concerened "Deeply" about ! They''re a very Powerful bunch of "ELITEST", that have other "SECRETIVE-AGENDAS" unknown to most all Americans of Either Party, and they''re really not intersteaded in either party and could careless, they''ve got their own so called party,and their own Agendas their going to try to Implement thru out the WORLD, rather anybody likes it or not, despite what the outcome is, or what anybody thinks ! Google that word and research it !

"Light, sweet crude for January delivery fell 90 cents to $97.13 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. "

"At the pump, meanwhile, gas prices fell 0.1 cent overnight to a national average of $3.089 a gallon, according to AAA and the Oil Price Information Service."

So much for those who still believe in prices being based on supply and demand, and refuse to recognize the corruption, collusion, nepotism, and monopolistic nature of the US energy industry.

If you think $100 for a barrel of oil is bad, just wait until we go to war with Iran. Warmongering oil-man Bush can''t wait much longer!

I would like to see an immediate 400% tax on crude, bringing the total sales price to $500/bbl, and then use the extra revenues to help offset some of the externalized costs associated with fossil fuel consumption.

I often agree with you feelfree1, but this time I feel that you have not taken into account the economic impact of your proposal.

When Dubya took office, oil was at $32 a barrel.

When Dubya took office, the dollar was worth 1 Euro.

Now, crude is at $100 a barrel and it takes a buck and a half to buy a Euro.

You could take Oil up as high as you want and move everybody closer to the cities, and everybody drive small cars, then you know what, these OIL Tycoons and these "Greedy Azz Wipes" who''ve got money invested in Oil stocks would start to Whine that their not making as much because were not using as much, so they''d inflate the price again, and come up with more excuses ! Why is you only hear them whine and complain about us in our cars and bigger houses, NEVER one mention about all the "LUXURY OCEAN LINERS" or the "OCEAN GOING FREIGHTERS" or Personel "Luxury Yachts" or the Personel "Luxury Jets" the rich Corporate Executives have and use on an almost daily basis, and those Freighters coming over from China, its always the workin man & woman who they try to blame, notice that !! Its never them the Wealthy Corporate Executive or the Corporate Lobbyist, its always us poor working folks who are the problem, NOT their Giant Freighters coming here from CHINA or else where, NOT their Big Boeing Corporate Personel Jets or their 25-MILLION DOLLAR Personel Luxury Yacht-NOPE just us poor folks who need to "CONSERVE MORE" ! I have one word for them ""F.Y." and the Horse you rode in on !

The billionaires who profit from oil must need new private jumbo-jets to add to their fleets. And I hope they don''t forget to buy more $1,000,000 gold toilets!

I hope speculators take oil to $200 a barrel and bankrupt our economy. Our country deserves it after electing a slimy oilman as president for 8 years.

Worlds total proven oil reserves are 1.3 trillion barrels. Oil shale in just the US are 1.6 to 2.5 trillion barrels.

So, how many of you have actually contacted your representative from the house to ask why insitu mining of shale oil hasn''t started until we can get the renewable energy sources up to speed ???

Shale oil can be mined insitu: (A) Put a frozen ring around the area you want to mine using drilling rigs. (B) Heat the Shale to 750 degrees - extract gas and oil until it no longer flows -unlike with liquid oil this means you have the VAST majority if it. (C) let rock cool - as it does it traps the remaining oil and gas. (D) stop freezing around target shale.

This yields a three and 1/2 to one energy output. We have approximately three times the amount of oil in shale oil that Saudi Arabia has in liquid. It can be produced at $30 a barrel. With over 1,500 barrels for a plot of land 20 X 35 feet!!!

And Shale oil is in the middle of NO WHERE in NE UTAH and SW Wyoming.
