$3 gas is here!

Worrying about family. Spending days on the phone searching for loved ones. Donating money, food and water. Tomorrow we start cooking for and serving refugees. Along with the knowledge that many of my friends have had not only their possessions but their homes and jobs wiped from the face of the earth.

Even if you only watch the news and care you're dealing with it.

Not only the people who took the direct hit were effected. Were the people at ground zero the only ones effected by 9/11? Or has that disaster had any effect on you?

Many of them had no transportation,no money,and nowhere to go before the disaster hit.IOW,unable to evacuate on their own.

Wow Chad, 150K? I hadn't heard numbers like that.

I guess your job will take you to the dome. I thought about volunteering there but decided that I couldn't handle it and would stay working with a local church.

OK Model rocketeers need gasolines to get to launch sites. Since model rocketry is a leisure activity, in contrast to commuting to work, etc., more people will forgo driving to launches and flying model rockets, due to the higher cost of gas. Fortunately, we can still communicate news and ideas over the internet, without burning expensive gas.

Try living outside the USA. Here, we are paying the equivilant of US$5 a gallon...

Of course, that's mostly government-extortion money. (aka taxes...) Take those away, and prices would be about equal.

I was reading in the Orlando Sentinel about how the Florida Airboat Association had mobiliized it's members and fully equipped and stocked their airboats to go and help rescue people,only to have FEMA refuse permission,which denies them support services.They had 500 airboats ready to travel to NOLA to help.

In most European nations, the price of gas is artificially inflated by heavy taxation. This forces the peons to "save the environment" by conserving (and giving up much of their freedom), without imposing hardship on the rich and powerful.

The liberals in the U.S. are constantly trying to push this same system on us.

You are incorrect.

It is the Socialists in the USA, not the Liberals.

;)

It's a very bad situation ...and I hope that next time they say evacuate more people will EVACUATE!..I'm sure there were exceptions but too many people did not take the warning seriously enough and unfortunately are in a very bad situation

And the difference is?

Dennis

I gotta admit, most of the time, I can't tell the difference.

Randy

Contemporary liberals in the USA ARE socialists.

What's the pre-tax price difference?
