Wouldn''t be great if, somehow, a nationwide strike could be planned? Everyone just stop driving, stop traveling, for 1 week....maybe longer. Let the oil companies drown in their reserves. I would be willing to be "sick" for a week.

If we all start conserving fuel. The oil companies will charge even more. They will say that they have to raise the price to make a profit because people aren''t buying as much and they need the higher price to offset the lower demand. Just one ole man''s opinion.

My husband is rich and makes lots of money, therefore I do not have to worry about this.

Maybe the price of gas will help us to do what we should have been doing for some time, boycotting neocon-owned businesses. Now if we can selectively target and have rolling boycotts against banks, the stock market, and Fox news, we might begin to see some progress out of the mess.

Great, less travelers, more road space and better time travel. OK. Thanks!
