Hi,

WAKE UP! What we need is an alternative to both of them - 2 sides of the same coin! Reagan once a Democrat, Hillary once a Young Republican, Robert Byrd - former Ku Klux Clan member, Randy Cunningham, former Medal of Honor winner now jailed for corruption. We need Term Limits and a return to the Citizen-Statesman, no more making an entire career feeding at the Public Trough! It's the seasoned professional politicians who got us in this mess! And all but a very few have absolutely no knowledge of what it takes to meet a payroll.

So far as Gasoline prices, blame the commodities market, pure and simple. Gasoline prices are set by the price of Gas futures contracts and these are driven mostly by speculation based on confidence, nothing more. Confidence in the geo-political scene, confidence in future demand and availability. You can seize the Saudi Oil Fields, build 30 new refineries, elect whichever party you choose, and the price will still be set on the commodities exchange. That's how it works...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
