1 Jerami you are correct we are in Iraq for the oil reserves it has. I can't argue that. But what I will say is we are there because the citizens of this country demand oil, not the oil companies. As a testiment to our addiction what's the first thing people think we should do when gas prices increase? DRILL FOR MORE!! |

No blood for oil is a joke....
You mess with our oil and we will kill you. It runs our whole economy like it or not. |

1 Yesterday I paid $3.79 for gas and $1.50 to shoot a game of pool. Where is the outrage over price gouging by the billiards industry,(which is almost 100% domestic, by the way)? I think Congress should hold hearings about price manipulation by Big Pool! (BTW: does Bush shoot pool?) |

U can blame a lot of this on Don Shelby.
he was given a plan to solve some of the gas and traffic problems but he refuses to think, or let it out of the BOX. |

1 Explained to my youngest daughter last weekend. She conplained of the high cost of gas and I explained in the 1970s an hours labor would buy 10 gallons of gas. That is also the case in 2008, however. Miles Per Gallon in 1970s was 15 and now MPG is 30 so gas remains very cheap. If you buy a Prius gas becomes very cheap!! ==========

1 AMEN!!!! People would save SO much fuel just by slowing down to 60, coasting to stop lights, and laying off the aggressive driving, not to mention parking the car once in a while. |

CONSULTANT = TEMP? If you lived in the city you'd be alot closer to all your temp jobs. |

1 It's not just American driving habits. Oil is a worldwide commodity and the driving habits of Indians and Chinese are what's changing - as they move to the middle class they want cars and they want to eat more than one meal a day. Their demand is only going to grow and the world has about tapped out it's cheap and easy to get oil. It's only going up from here. So we can either get moving on finding other ways to fuel our economy or we are in for a big decline in our standard of living. The economies that will be successful in the future are those that are energy independent. I would hope that we have enough will as a nation to do what needs to be done. |

1 Of course if you lived in the metro you could take the bus to jobs in Bloomington and Saint Paul and so on or you could find a job that didn't involve changing work sites every few months. It's all about choices. |

It must be tough to have to go through life without an education. Where did you hear these explanations of how the world works? I know you vote democrat but that's no excuse. |
|
100K a year is a nice temp job |
|

1 Why would I want to live in the city? Nicer in the suburbs dont have to worry as much about certain types of people |
|
I can afford the gas...its not that at all...its just ridiculous what its coming down too...im still going on vacations...i still have my savings |
|
100K and you can't afford to live in the city. Give everyone a break. Stop whining. |
|
I couldn't afford to build in the city...and I have student loans up the ying yang...not myself but my wife has quite the student loan debts so 100K isn't as much as it could be... People ripping on consultants obviously don't know the job market very much. If you have the talent I recommend it...you don't have to get involved with the corporate politics and you make great money and you get breaks during the year inbetween contracts...42 weeks a year is considered full time for Consultants... |
|
|
And more importantly...i have no desire to live in the city. I like peaceful neighborhoods

It is impossible to believe that you are educated by reading your posts. You have no concept of the English language, and your replies have the intellect of a 16 year old. Nice try, though. |

2 Now that they are successfully on their way to getting us out of our auto's they can set their eye's on our homes. Next week congress will debate Cap and Trade. This bill will pass, it will drive all manufacturing off shore and will cause out utility bills to sky rocket. They want us out of our homes and in soviet style condo's next to a light rail station. Too bad most Americans are too clueless to understand or care what is really happening here. |
