Oil Now $111.00 Per Barrel

[civic95]

we are screwed b/c they basically have a monopoly; the top 4 refineries are American/British owned. the oil industry hasn't taken losses in years; most have recorded record gains. with the wonderful excuse of the Chinese. i can understand this to a point but China didn't just all of sudden gain millions of cars + drivers in past couple years. our prices are all about GREED. i just heard a study that that hybrid sales have increased 60%

Uh, yes it did. I've been 3 times. In 2002 (first time I went), you were considered wealthy if you're family had a car. 1 car to share!. I just got back again in feburary, and everyone in my fiances parents neighborhood now has a car. In 2002 there might of been 10 cars in the whole neighborhood. There used to be almost no middle class. Now it's exploded, and their middle class is growing like crazy. I can't believe how much it's changed in the past few yrs.

To make matters worse India is almost growing at the same rate.

Here's an article for further proof. Written in Canada in case you think the US government is bull****ing us.

instead of "Operation Iraqie Freedom" we should of done "Operation Iraqie Peace for Oil" way more catchy and possilby we could of recouped the 500 billion dollars or so spent

Neither did American cars back in the day when they had HIGH performance motors, doing exactly what a growing country does until it realizes what it is doing and matures. DUH.
