 Well, I have resisted up to this point but I thought I would offer my 
incredibly cheap opinion.? I dont disagree with what has been said up to this 
point but the one thing that bothers me so much is that the price is so 
dependent upon speculation, rather than any hard facts.? If there is a freeze 
in Florida then the price of orange juice might go up to reflect the increased 
cost of the product.? I dont see the same correlation with oil.? The supply and 
demand is controlled to maintain profits.? And speaking of profits, the oil 
companies are making record profits nowadays and there is no control of what 
they make.? Normally in a supply and demand economy the public would have the 
choice of choosing not to purchase a product that the public thought was 
overpriced.? Not driving or heating your home isnt a realistic choice for the 
vast majority of Americans so we have no ability to put pressure on the oil 
companies.? The politicians make loud noises about "investigating" big oil 
companies and receive the big headlines when they do.? But I never seem to see 
any results, just announcements that they are forming a committee etc.? Big 
news when they announce they are investigating, but never any results or 
answers.? I am not a fan of increased bureaucracy but it would be nice to just 
allow the big oil companies to make a decent profit, rather than obscene.

My two cents, worth much less with inflation and impossible to pump two cents 
in today's oil climate.

David gets it, for sure.  I just can't stand belly aching over such things 
in this great country where even average people have more material things 
then they have time for.
