Know what'll happen if we lose most of our gasoline?

All that technology the oil companies say won't work will magically work... and pretty damn fast, too.

Exactly, and there won't be a "meltdown," like jcadam and others (that website he keeps pushing) seem to think there will be.

LOL. Nope, it were you. I was being the grammar Nazi even with that comment.

You should have said, "Being stupid and Human (not humans) and German (not Germans) ..." I thought it was funny that you tried to fix something and wound up breaking it.

Btw, have you worked out what chord Bush was playing on that guitar?

troll my comment to him had nothing to do with English, or grammar. So no wand exists of any sort.

Sorry you didn't get it.

Gas going up, people waiting in lines to buy it, shoot, it's almost like Carter is President again.

Except interest rates are below 20%...

Now I'm pushing the website? I didn't post the original link, and I referred to it once in a later post. Now, you can blame me for reading the whole article and posting an exsum of it. Doesn't mean I bought all of the guy's conclusions, now does it? Life will go on, but do explain how $15/gallon gas won't affect your lifestyle?

I now have 115 gallons in reserve.
And the best part, I bough it wholesale from the fuel truck at my airport.
$1.85/Gallon.
