You research something. That was your choice. Nobody held a gun to your head. Just because someone does or doesn't read your research, and does or doesn't accept it as the final authority, shouldn't upset you so. |

Al Gore provides people with all kinds of research to back up his position on global warming, and he does the same thing you do when someone doesn't agree with his research.

You don't get it, you won't get it. Most of the people in this group
behave well like children. A reasoned argument with supporting
documentation is given and you call names. Even worse, you don't
understand how saying I'm 'Rosie' isn't a counter point. Forget it.
Pointless.

While I don't disagree with your hypothesis, the average American can't drive worth a shit to begin with. Therefore, we are all held to the LCD standard. |
drive fairly well. In fact, AS the average American, I drive better than 95%
of the drivers out there.
Where do you fall on the curve?

What shortage? Is there rationing? Are there lines at the pumps? Not where I live. |

And someone explain to me the strategy of shutting down "two of our largest oil refineries" for "routine maintenance" just before Memorial Day, a time when gasoline demand can reliably be expected to increase. |
there is ALWAYS going to be two down for maintenance. Always.
Doesn't matter what time of year.
Or would you rather take FOUR of them down in, say, February? Let's
watch heating oil prices spike then.
No, the solution is to overturn all the idiotic laws that have
prevented us from building an efficient oil-to-gas refining and
distribution system. I'm afraid it's going to take $8-per-gallon gas
to wake the electorate up.

Dammit, what the fuck is wrong with you? In economics it's known as supply & demand. In anal sex, its known as put it in slowly. I would like to know what gas prices should be using any year you want and adjusting it forward for inflation just like many other products. |
something like $109. Convert that to today's dollars and figure the
price for a gallon after refining.

conditions of the roads, etc, US drivers are not that bad compared to
many other countries I have driven in.
If you notice the drivers where you live and compare their driving to
drivers who visit your particular locale, I would say that the
"foreign" drivers are far worse. The local drivers have adopted their
style in order to survive. The "foreign" drivers have not yet learned
those survival techniques. A zillion cars flow into and out of the
major metro areas like LA, SF, NY, etc, every day and survive the trip
because the have learned the skills to survive. If that requires a
driver to be rude, or act in other ways to survive, that's what they
do. The person lacking those skills is the one most apt to initiate a
chain reaction because they are trying to use the survival skills of
their home territory.
This is something man has used since long before the car.
Environmental adaptation. For example, the colonists who adopted
buckskin and blended into the woodlands the way the Indians did not
only kept their scalps, but whipped the hell out of the British who
wore red and marched in a straight line. The Brits failed to adopt the
survival skills in the new environment.
