Oil Price Fun

[wombat2u2004]

I don't know what everyone here is complaining about

In Ontario they are already paying over $4 a gallon and have been for some time lol.... AND we don't even get our oil from elsewhere lol. We can get it all from Alberta.... explain THAT

Well the oil companies can explain that away with their lies. The same happened here, and petrol prices shot thru the roof, people questioned it etc etc, and were just told a whole heap of lies. We know what is going on here with their profiteering.
But I don't think raising the prices of petrol is the answer.
Alternative fuel makes more sense to me......we humans are in an inventive little lot, I'm sure alternatives have already been found and have been swept under the carpet.

You know, I see these "discussions" started at times that seem to be looking for debate/discussion, but from all I've read from past ones (and it's no different in this one) don't think I'd ever care to try to express my opinions because any disagreement ends up with personal slams and plenty of use of Yes I've seen it go on between both sides of an issue. Personally if I see someone asking for a serious issue to be discussed, my thoughts and replies on it are serious. Some people use and and "LOL" so frequently that it's not always a clear indicator of intent. Just food for thought.

As an aside, from what I have read, the US has one of the worst overall mass transit systems of any of the 1st world countries. The big cities such as NY and Chicago have them for within their boundaries, but in many places it is sorely lacking.
