You can think what you want.... he/she in text mean either or.... I didn't know your sex until after the post when I checked your profile (Jeanne) ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

One flaw in your theory.... Gas supplies are at 8 yr highs in the US. Thursday April 13, 4:54 pm ET By Madlen Read, AP Business Writer Oil Prices Rise Above $69 Per Barrel Amid Concerns About Possible Supply Disruptions NEW YORK (AP) -- Oil prices rose above $69 a barrel on Thursday ahead of the long weekend, as worries about possible supply disruptions overshadowed the news that U.S. crude inventories are at their highest level in eight years. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

I reread this and thought more about it. First of all honey, you don't even know me. But your attitude toward me and many people on here sucks. What's commical is that your post is intended to be a shot at me and other people who you perceive to be preaching from high ground. When in reality you are the same person you hate. You believe you are the elightened one because you listen to some segment on Al Franken's show the other day between bong hits... So, relax. If you expect to be taken seriously, maybe you should back up your wild conspriracy claims with some factual information. Instead of regurgitating something you heard and claiming it is "Critical thinking" Chris ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

OK, I went to the site and still did NOT find proof the President had refineries closed so oil companies could make larger profits. So, instead of Amazon skirting the question with attacks, he/she should answer the question. Where is your proof? Here's a start: http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/dnav/pet/pet_move_expc_a_EP00_EEX_mbbl_m.htm ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Also, you may want to calm down.... Your tone and comments could get you in trouble. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

and the same to you Air America :-) ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Please show me proof that the Pres and his "Buddies" closed refineries for profiteering... Or is that what your conspiracy theory web site told you? ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

WOW... where is your data to back that crazy talk up? ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Here is the ultimate problem with Oil though. It is not that we consumers want cheap oil, it is that we want cheap ENERGY. The truth is, if we do break bonds with oil, prices are going to drop so dramatically that we will then begin to use oil again because it is so cheap. somewhat of a paradox. The less dependant we become the more likely we will want to use it and become dependant. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Bill it is a typo..."FaCts you can prove" ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

What most people don't realize here is that it IS NOT the oil companies who are causing this.... It is the investors speculation that is driving up the cost nothing else. Gas Supplies in the USA are at 8 year Highs.... Supply and demand does not really apply to current high prices, however, if the Pres did NOT change the evironmental rules today, then prices would go higher on demand because refined gas for the driving season would not be available... Keep Blaming the oil companies though.... it is funny. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

I know what you will say, and I will say you cant prove that, however fats you can prove..... Black men are Genetically more prone to Colon Cancer than Whites. Black men in the USA are more likely to be murdered than Whites. Black men in the USA are more likely to go to jail than whites. Blacks in the USA are more likely to be born to teenage mothers than Whites. Blacks in the USA anre more likely to use hard drugs than Whites. Need more? Because all of these things can contribute to a shorter life expectancy. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

I happen to rent too, I sometimes wonder if the headaches are worth $$$$ ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

LOL...Sorry, I meant US gas engines. Not Diesel ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Also not taken into account is the genetic make up of the population.... Blacks in America are only expected to get to around 72.5yrs while whites get to 78.3 yrs. There are roughly 36,000,000 blacks in the US (12%) What is the percentage in Canada? Again, all these factors need to be considered. Even environmental ones such as atmoshperic pollution. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

all US vehicles can use E10. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Obesity... Murder... Suicide... There are many factors that can make up the 3% difference. You need to take into account the stress level of the people in Canada vs. the USA as well. Just look at the life expectance of women in the usa. It used to be they lived much longer than men, but now that they are in the workforce, there expectancey has gone down significantly... Are ther more women in the workforce in the US than Canada? or Japan? or Germany? YES... and that alone could be the cause... it sure as shit aint the canadian healthcare system. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

I guess you just don't get it!!! ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

WOW... that is a stretch. So let me get this straight.... You think letting an inefficiant government run the healthcare system will help americans live longer? FYI - you logic is flawed... Your words here. Currently it is 23% of adults in Canada vs. 30% of USA adults. So, there are more overweight Americans then Right? OK...Point made then. 7% more Americans... :-) ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Ontario charges a tax on income for the health system. These amounts are collected through the income tax system, and do not determine eligiblity for public health care. The Ontario Health Premium is an additional amount charged on an individual's income tax that ranges from $300 for people with $20,000 of taxable income to $900 for high income earners. Individuals with less than $20,000 in taxable income are exempt. Quebec also requires residents to obtain prescription insurance. When an individual does not have insurance, they must pay an income-derived premium. As these are income related, they are considered to be a tax on income under the law in Canada. Other provinces, such as British Columbia and Alberta, charge premiums collected outside of the tax system for the provincial medicare systems. These are usually reduced or eliminated for low-income people. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Oh, and don't forget the Provitial sales tax and Federal sales tax... the two combined equal about 15% on everything you buy. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Ummm.... I wouldn't exactly envy the Canadian health system or Tax code. You can have "Free Healthcare" too, but don't think Free means Free... ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Maybe if you did your homework you would understand why.... He is doing it to prevent a potentially major supply problem when the peak driving season comes. Ethanol used in place of MTBE can not be sent via pipeline (like MTBE can) due to its solubility in H2O, ergo, all ethanol must be sent to the refinaries via truck. This takes time and money and slows down the refining process. Because of this there have been outages and shortages of gas which has caused local spikes in fuel prices. Now picture that on a national scale.... You should probably thank him not execute him. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Bill is very right on this point.... I listened to Anne Coulter on Fox the other day talking about how we should build a wall on the border. She said we should use Illegal Mexicans to build it since they are cheap labor, and then send them back once it is complete.... Though I found this entertaining and quite comical, she certainly can't be serious. It does make for good radio and tv though.
