Bingo, that is exactly the answer!ivybendorf said:I blame the gas companies for the growing food crisis,
ivybendorf said:They are rationing flour in places, too. I have heard of it in Vermont and Utah. The economy is going down the tube, regardless of weather. This whole ethanol demand has everything screwed up. People started farming more corn and less of other things, which put the supply and demand out of whack, and there is still not enough corn to sate the ethanol demand so corn is going up. That in turn is pushing beef prices up, since feed is so much more expensive, and the droughts mean alternative feed like hay is more expensive than it has been in decades. Ethanol isn't lowering gas prices, so food transport is going up, which raises the price of everything.

Me too.ivybendorf said:I blame the gas companies for the growing food crisis,
Brilliant...Lissa said:I think our country is headed into a major crisis if someone doesn't step up and do something soon. IMO we need to get the hell out of Iraq and take care of US. That's been my view since the very beginning. We have some very serious problems here and nobody is doing a damn thing. I just hope the next president will not be so dumb.
Actually Canada is the second largest. America is dumb on the part that we have our very own natural resources here to make our own oil. I do not understand why we don't.hwnorth said:Gas - Vancouver BC - $5.31 GALLON
So lets see, USA is getting Hydro from us, water from us, and we have the largest offshore oil reserves in the world.
How long before Canada gets attacked for having WMD ?
Afgan and the middle east is all about oil IMO... nothing else .. but oil.. USA wants to be the world leader and they have slipped as a "Superpower".
The government doesnt care how high oil goes .. because THEY make more money in taxes, plus half of them own or have shares in oil companies... do a little 411 on Bush and his gang ... see how much oil stuff he owns.
Theres a shortage alright ... it starts with education, and ends with complacency ... people not standing up for what is right. What do you think would happen if the masses marched to Bushes Palace and said .. "troops out now... or we REMOVE you" ..... YOU are the voice of the country ... the leader SHOULD be your puppet.
Not to debate on the topic ... but Saudi used to be thought as the largest ... they are now saying that the tar sands of Alberta are the largest .. and this isnt inclusive of the off-shore available off the Coast of BC and the Queen Charlottes area.musicmom said:Actually Canada is the second largest.

I totally agree that WE have to stand up. I can bet my last dollar that these truck drivers are going to go on strike real soon. You raise gas, their pay goes down, they stop driving.

Although Im Canadian and dont follow a lot of USA politics, I still feel that a black President would be awsome. If for no other reason than he has a lot to prove and show how good he can be as the first black president and how he can improve the country ... I think theres a lot to be said about that alone.ivybendorf said:I think an angry president might do us some good. If he has half a brain, he will get mad at the oil giants holding a monopoly over the whole d*mn country and make them open their pocketbooks!
