Gas prices are too high. When I go to the pups I am insulated. It lets me know I am not smart enough to stop this kind of thievery. I just have to pay it right? No I have always been a bit of a rebel, but I know when I am being screwed. First the government then the Insurance Companies with Seat belts and cigarettes. Now the oil guys are giving it a try. As I heard one say. Peopled only have so mush money and we need to get as much of it as fast as we can before someone else does. People are creatures of habits and they will pay whatever we ask. Besides, they are going to spend it somewhere. That is not a quote. It has been sometime when I head it. It no doubt was true. Cause if they charged $10 a gallon we would still buy it. Right? How does it feel to be so stupid? I feel like a fool every time I go to the pumps. It is time we do something to redeem our dignity. It can only get worse. If we let it. Saturday July 1st, 2006 has been chosen as the official day or protest. One full day of no convinces store sales at all and no fuel sales.

We are not trying to hurt the oil economy. We do however want them to realize we do have the power to do so. We are not fools. We can only take so mush. To double the price of gas in only a few months is insane. We have oil fields still shut down from the 70’s. As I remember we shut them down as a matter of diplomacy. We wanted to deal with the Middle East. Wonder who got the kick back on that one. I was there when Ashland Oil entertained the oil barrens of the Middle East in Ashland KY. I was in Florida when we entertained the Shaw of Iran. What went wrong there?

Now we are to believe that weather is reasonable for higher gas prices. And that we now control most of the Middle East with a war machine to rival Armageddon and we have to pay double for gas. As my mother would say.“I don’t believe a word of it. If you told it to a mule he would kick you brains out”. Our leader President Gorge W. Bush, an oilman, insults me. Who tells us we have to live with higher fuel prices. How stupid does he think we are? I for one am not buying his story. Bill Clinton would have never tried to sell us such a crock of bull.

So to show my disbelief. I will not purchase any oil products on Saturday July, 1,2006. I will not stop at any convenience markets where gas is sold. I am not saying not purchase what you need the day before or after. I am only doing this as a protest. I know we can get the attention of the President and the oil business if they have no or very little sales on this day. I know I would start thinking what is next if I was in that position. Wouldn’t you?

So as a form of protest I am inviting everyone to join in with me to show our unity in this protest. Remember If we don’t do something Fuel prices are just going up and up. AS soon as we get used to the price hike, it will happen again. Join me in this protest. We can make a difference

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

Lord have mercy on your soul for you are going against the word of God.

Daily Horoscope for January 5

Libra

Don't put yourself through anything that isn't absolutely necessary, Libra. After all, why cook when others will gladly serve you at their house, or treat you to a wonderful meal at your favourite restaurant? Even when you assert yourself, there seems to be a wonderfully passive quality to your manner. Now that the universe has finally decided to give you some of what you want, make sure your wish list is short and don't be greedy.
