of course there is another side to this debate

for those of you owning stock in said oil companies (like myself) you are offsetting the high gas prices by the gains you make each month on your stocks....

now I know that doesnt answer the question and yes gas prices are high, but global demand will only continue to increase and with demand comes price increases...

say goodbye to 2-3 dollar a gallon gasoline folks

this is an assumption imo.. a prediction, a surmise, an apparent trend.... but, IF theres a will.....

assuming the worst is one way to fall into its trap... as a global whole, people have quite a bit of influence...

already there are organizations educating consumer about their buying power... a simple search on the web would provide interested individuals with more info about their untapped ability to control the market... so far, it seems products which enhance our lives are very popular... we might ask ourselves at times if such products are totally necessary...
making wise and informed decisions can send signals to marketers of which products we prefer... this is something simple we could all begin today IF we so chose to....

i dont mean to sound preachy... not something i aspire to, but, i just hope we can all try in good faith and spirit ... to do something.... or, we can wait for someone else to fix it.....

thanks for allowing my words...
