Oil at Two-Year High as Libya Edges Civil War

Imagine how much lower the price of oil would be if American companies could drill in the Gulf of Mexico. Imagine what would happen if Obama was (rightfully) arrested for his contempt of court, while continuing his unconstitutional oil embargo against the US.

Okay. "Americans" need to be "less addicted" to foreign oil. I've heard it told that, if we actually tapped OUR OWN resources instead of panicking about spills and Santa's sled-pullers, we wouldn't need foreign oil at all. So that's the first part of it that makes me absolutely sick. The spin is utterly astounding. To set some faux example of global awareness, we'll regulate ourselves completely out of the market and thus force everyone in the country to pay insanely high markups while we don't really give a sh%t what they do on "their" side of the globe. That's a bunch of crap! That's like being against torture but all for rendition. This backward logic is costing us big time! Why can't we have honesty on any issue? And as far as "other forms of energy," we're all still waiting! Should we be forced into $10/gallon gasoline and subsequently refuse to buy it simply beacuse we can't afford it in order to stop using it? Again, that's crazy logic. If someone came to the table with viable alternatives not costing people far more than they could afford, the vast majority of Americans would be more than happy to switch up, all the "big lobbyist" stuff be damned. Ah, this is a general rant. I used to go to the gas station with a twenty and be gravy. These days I'm paying closer to $50 per fill. I'm sick of all the spin and every other bit of nonsense that goes with it. People get so up in arms about not tapping America's resources, and then they get up in arms about needing to break foreign dependence, and then they get up in arms about "alternative" measures. If only wishful thinking and finger pointing filled my tank up! And with oil costs on the rise, food costs are going to shoot up again, too. I'm paying close to $200/week for groceries for ONE PERSON, up almost 80% in the past two years. I'll have to switch back to unhealthy junk food to save money, or stop eating altogether. Healthcare, here we come! F%$K! For supposedly the "best country in the world," America sure is an azz-backwards, retarded place sometimes. It's the lobbyists?
