He. No I want everyone to drive huge SUV's cause they're safe and cry to the gmt when gas gets expensive. PS I have 8 kids and still love expensive gas because it shows the foolishness of 40 mile commutes in SUV's. SUFFER!

I don't have an SUV. The price of fill ups is hurting me. My house is not heated by an SUV. The basic fact of the matter is that it isn't supply and demand driving the price of gasoline or natural gas. A lot of it is speculation and profiteering. And the government should suspend the profiteering or suffer itself when the ecomony sinks. And your glee at the plight of commuters shows that your argument is more based on emotion than logic. You have marginalized yourself.

Profiteering is good in capitalism. Only socialism is offended by capitalism. So you want the government to come in and limit profits? That, as I said, is socialism. My reason for enjoying high gas prices has nothing to do with my comment that the desire to have the government intercede is socialism.

Seldom has so much nonsense been packed in so few words.
