I originally posted this 2 years ago. Seems even more relevent now than it was then.
Raped at the gas pump, again
So, you haven't had enough yet? Fill up you car now, you can almost feel a hand reaching for your wallet before you do. But you'll brush it off, because quite frankly, you haven't had enough yet. You can't rape the willing.
The oil producers are only a part of the problem. The other half of the equation is something most people don't even consider. The stock market. As oil is a commodity, it is traded on the market in pursuit of the highest price. All this talk about supply and demand is is just a pill they hand you everytime they jack up the price at the pump.
Follow the money. From us to them.
Two kinds of people are milking you right now for your hard earned money. Those who trade in oil futures, and those who invest in oil companies. Both are so busy counting their profits, they have lost all contact with human decency. Money has corrupted them. You are nothing to these people. They don't care about what you spend at the pump as long as you spend as much as you can. They don't care about how food prices will go up because of their greed. They don't care about the hardships that the small business people are struggling with. All they care about is how much money can be made.
If you own oil company stock, you are a part of this problem. Dump it, and find something else.
Don't feed this beast. Don't you dare.
While there are a number of reasons for the Iraq war, oil is certainly one of them. So, when you're standing there at the pump listening to the gasoline swirl down the nozzle into your tank, you better stop for a moment and think.
There's another additive in that gasoline.
Blood.
