$3.59 a Freakin' Gallon???

I live in Oklahoma. You know, the state of the great Glen Pool strike (or is it Glenn?) in the early 1900s, when so much oil poured out of the earth that they just dug great big lakes for it. The state with an oil well at the governor's mansion. The state freaking BUILT by oil. You name a big name in oil, we're connected somehow.

I cannot tell you how highly offended I am by the fact that I live in Oklahoma and I pay $3.59 a GALLON for gasoline. New York? Yeah, you guys go ahead and pay it. Florida? You can pay four or five bucks a gallon. Vermont? Whatever you want. But this is OKLAHOMA. Land of cowboys, Indians and oil. I want a reasonable price.

I know lots of people in the oil business, and I even love some of 'em, but this has long passed obscene and gone into gotta-be-morally-criminal territory. People can't make ends meet. Everything has gotten so expensive that plenty of folks are doing without not just luxuries but things they really need.

People in this privileged country are going hungry.

And the oil companies are posting the highest profits EVER????

The one thing that gets me through life is the certainty that, in the end, we all get rewarded for the good things we've done and punished for the bad. Put more succinctly, God'll get us.

Man, God will REALLY get the oil company heads. Rachel10:20 AM
