Whatever do you mean, Colin? People are very busy thinking about and discussing oil, inasmuch as they're trying to decide which gigantic SUV they're going to buy so they can take advantage of Bush's proposed tax break. Lori, who HATES Hummers, Navigators, Escalades, Excursions, Expeditions, Suburbans, and any of the "luxury" SUVs that are driven in cities and that will never be used for off-road adventure, and aren't even used to effectively get around in the piles of snow here in Maryland - god forbid the damn things get their paint scratched!
