Bloating Gas Prices

Post by **Tifah** » Fri Apr 08, 2005 1:30 pm

Is anyone else going to have to ride the f*****g metro soon because the damn gas prices are so high? I've read that Bush is getting 25cents per gallon now that he has raised his stock in Halibuton. What the hell is happening here. Lots of intelligent minds in here and this one wants to know. So, go on. grunt out your opinions.

Tifah,
First of all I would like to know what everyone across the country is paying?

We are up to a record high of $2.22 here for regular!!!!I know that some of you in Cali have already been paying prices this high in the past but damn!!!!

Bush has fooled half of America talking issues that weren't relevant to get votes and now look at this mess.We were having the same convos about http://www.richardpryor.com/forums/msgs ... 8&forum=12 - a year ago!!!!'

GAS WAR

Join the resistance!!!! I hear we are going to hit close to $3.00 a gallon by the summer and it might go higher!! Want gasoline price to come down? We need to take some intelligent, united action.

Phillip Hollsworth, offered this good idea: This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the "don't buy gas on a certain day" campaign that was going around last April or May! The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't continue to "hurt" ourselves by refusing to buy gas.It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them.

BUT, whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can really work.Please read it and join with us! By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $1.50 is super cheap. Me too! It is currently $2.09 for regular unleaded in my town. Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at $1.50- $1.75, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace....not sellers. With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to take action.

The only way we are going to see the price of gas come down is if we hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their gas! And we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves. How? Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying gas. But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we
all act together to force a price war.

Here's the idea: For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest companies (which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL.If they are not selling any gas, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit. But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon and Mobil gas buyers. It's really simple to do!! Now don't whimp out on me at this point...keep reading and I'll explain howsimple it is to reach millions of people!!

I am sending this note to about thirty people. If each of you send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) ... and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 30 = 3,000 ) ... and so on, by the time the message reaches
the sixth generation of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers. If those three million get excited and ! pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted! If it goes one level further, you guessed it..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION
PEOPLE!!!

Again, all You have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all.(If you don't understand how we can reach 300 million and all you have to do is send this to 10 people.... Well, let's face it, you just aren't a mathematician. But I am ... so trust me on this one.)

How long would all that take? If each of us sends this e-mail out to ten more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!!! I'll bet you didn't think you and I had that much potential, did you! Acting together we can make a difference.

If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on. PLEASE HOLD OUT UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $1.30 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN.THIS CAN REALLY WORK.

astonamous,
Yeah, I 'm in agreement on the frivolous usage of fuel, but as big as houston is, the transportation system is way primitive. Now, if we could get a train system through this place, or a little less greed from city officials to restore the bus system, I think relying on public trasportation would be, well, reliable. As for now though, it takes 2 hours, to get half an hour a away... So you're big tyme now. Administrator & all. CONGRATULATIONS!! Its been awhile since I've logged on, & it was pleasant to see your name. Also, to my peeps bingolong a.k.a, music producer extraordinare, and anditsdeeptoo, umm...well, i guess hes just my muse. Awww, welcome back,... me.
