Since we go after drug cartels, what makes this cartel any different?

They are most likely in cahoots with Sen. John Kerry too :)

But high gas prices = angry public = elect someone besides Bush.

It's our own fault for being so dependent on oil. Not enough R&D has gone into oil-alternative energy sources, so this only hurts us because we deserve it.

It's basically their only good resource. They can raise prices, but if we can lower demand THEY are the ones who get screwed. Bloody sand dune pissant nations ;)

By your logic:

Company A supplies company B with raw materials and then company B manufactures widgets. Company A then raises the price of raw materials by 15% because they fell like it. Company B then passes this increase to the customer to stay afloat, it's company B's fault and they need to be blamed. :confused:

NOOOOOOOOoo....... By MY logic, Bush and his cronies have a lot of interest in petroleum and by keeping fuel prices inflated, they get fatter wallets. If you don't think that OPEC and the oil companies watch each others backs, you're naive. It helps both of them.

Thank you. OPEC is a perfectly legal cartel, and if you want to talk about big oil...umm...Bush and Cheney?

Yeah, my hope is America will eventually become as green-conscious as the Europeans.

We have no right to complain, given what people in Europe have been spending on gas for years!
