[Summit] Trdr Jos in Wrwck- phooey- $$ svd wl be spnt on GAS at these PRICES

[Bresler E]

We need to start car pooling and boycotting the pumps like the French do.

I try to avoid politics but I can't help smelling a scam here. To me, this
one ranks with the flimsy Nigerian Internet Spam Artists-

There is NO EXCUSE for these gas prices. The sceptic in me sees the
government (can't be Bush alone?) trying to buy us off with "free money"-
to sooth us with "rebates" of our own money, really, which, of course,
increases the national debt. The same "magic thinking" that gets folks in
trouble with credit cards.
But the kicker is who REALLY gets the money- with the gas prices so cranked
up, fuel at the pumps and transportation costs for our necessities such as
food, will MORE that grab our whole rebates, AND, surprize!, pass them to
Bush's friends, the oil barons.

We drove to NYC to visit some close friends for the end of Passover, despite
the gas prices. The effect was VERY noticeable (besides on our wallets).
There was a MAJOR reduction in traffic; the proportion of SUVs to cars was
down, but there were also much less personal vehicles all together. Of
course this is subjective, but the difference was major; you couldn't help
notice.  Even on a week day evening- the commercial traffic (trucks, work
vans) was almost half the vehicles.  Coming back early in the morning, I
drove through almost a whole hour on 95 without ever seeing anything but a
dozen plus trucks going my way and only a couple cars the other way. We have
often driven at that time, and usually pass at least as many cars/SUVS as
trucks.

Pretty un-nerving
