This Needs to Stop

…And I quote:
NEW YORK - Oil prices rose sharply Friday on news that a ship under contract to the U.S. Defense Department fired warning shots at two boats in the Persian Gulf. Retail gas prices as expected rose further into record territory, nearing $3.60 a gallon.
Crude prices rose on initial reports that a U.S. ship had fired on two Iranian boats; the news raised concerns that a conflict between U.S. and Iranian forces could cut oil supplies from the region. A Navy spokeswoman said the origin of the boats was unclear.
Now, let me ask: WHAT THE HELL DOES THE PRICE OF GAS HAVE TO DO WITH NOT SHOOTING IRANIANS?
Any excuse… ANY EXCUSE they can make to raise oil prices is being used. “Oh, I’m sorry your great aunt Martha died… let’s raise the oil prices!” Or, “It’s Tuesday on Mars and Jupiter is in line with Pluto, but Pluto isn’t a planet anymore so let’s raise the oil prices!” I swear to God someone will burn in the eternal fires of whatever hell they believe in for all this shit. Firing a warning shot as some Iranian boat is not a reason to raise oil prices. This is gotten out of hand.
Here’s my plan to fix this:
- Step one: Go to Alaska/Colorado/Wyoming… wherever there is a ton of untapped oil.
- Step two: Arrest, shoot, or somehow detain any Tree Hugger or politician or actor that even so much as peeps some stupid environmental bullshit.
- Step three: Drill out some oil. By the way, this can be done with almost ZERO environmental impact. This is the 21st century, and we’re not primitive monkeys with coat hangers and wooden oil derricks. We have the technology. I will let Daniel Plainview explain how this works:
- Step four: Turn that oil into gasoline and sell it for a decent price. A price that is fair and just. This also may involve shooting oil company executives.
- Step five: Tell Saudi Arabia and Iran and whoever the hell else we buy oil from to kiss our pasty white ass. We have our own oil, thank you.
Step six: Keep working on alternative fuel sources. Our own meager supply will only last us about another 2,000 years.
I’m sick of paying out the ass for gasoline. Especially when it’s not necessary to do so. We, the American people, are being raped. And we didn’t even get a kiss first.

This will not stop as long as the powers that be can profit off of oil. We don’t need to need oil, but as long as they keep us thinking that we need it, as long as they regulate the demand, they will hold financial power over us.
This won’t stop unless we stop it ourselves.

I agree, but it’s still frustrating. I have to have gas to make my car go, and I don’t have any alternative. We all know this, and yet we don’t know what we can do about it. It’s the greed of a few that screw the lot of us.

Melikes your plan very much.
I wonder how long it will take for oil prices/tension to get bad enough for the people to stop heeding the shallow “save the furry animals” mentality and actually harvest our goddam oil.

Amen to that, I remember the so-called movie the politicians put out about the Alaska oil and they showed all the Elk and creatures that would suffer if we drilled. The truth was the only thing that lives in the area is lichen. The area in all honesty looks like a moonscape.
