ELL with the gas prices zooming back towards $4 a gallon, I wonder if Obama is going to sit on his hands and say/do nothing as Bush did when he was in office--Ya know If I were in charge (winks) I would say "WAIT a cotton pickin' minute, that is the same oil you been pumping outta the ground for all this time NOW its worth so much more-- why is that? and then I'd say, "You can put that price right back where it was-- or else!" The stipulators are the nay sayers--to hell with them! And that gas was sitting IN that pump when the shop owner raised the price--they paid X-amount for it...WHY now in the middle of the stream are they thinking they can double up on that price they have to sell it for? I feel someone sneaking up to plunge a knife in my back and the backs of my friends, neighbors, and my countrymen rich and poor!I'm so over all this corporate baloney---"PROFIT MARGIN" has become a nasty word in my vocabulary--yes I understand you have to sell for more than you paid but WHY so much more? Do "they" (the corporate Gods) have to live so LARGE--whilst the rest of the US peons barely make ends meet-yet we are alive, we breath the same air through nostrils same as them--does the air enter the rich lung better, does it oxygenate them better if their bank account is larger? Nah--don't think so-
You can drink tea from a jelly glass or fine wine from perfect crystal, but when that last breath is taken you are back to even--Out same way you came in with Nothing--
You see if we all strove for financial excellence it may impress me, but some of us think enough is all we need, that we don't need surplus and stacks of wealth to feel worthy--maybe we feel worthy without all that extra padding around us---I mean how many million dollar mansions does one rich person need??? Is one enough, two, three, how many does it take? How many BMW's one, two, three, you can only drive one car at a time--How many watches, phones, computers, HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH? lol
We all feel we are worthy because we are here on this Planet under the same Sun, Moon, Stars, the same water is ours that is theirs..the oil is ours same as it is theirs---who gave it to them? Any Man-King-/Woman-Princess is the same as any man sleeping in the gutter or any whore under the red lights...we are ALL THE SAME--we have the same basic needs and beyond that its all fluff.
It is one World --yet some get such a blown out of proportion feeling of grandeur about themselves they feel the World is there only to be raped and pillaged by them and the rest of us are like ants cleaning up after the picnic and we are held accountable to them?
Yoda would say, "Wrong they are."
