I totally agree with you on our need to eliminate our dependence on foreign
oil. I hear people complaining about the cost of gas, and they do nothing to
cut their fuel consumption. We had better wake-up to the fact that as long as
we continue to use it like we do, the price of fuel will remain high.

OK, I'll buy the fact that US demand is down ( although it's tough to tell
driving anywhere anytime out on our streets) but keep in mind that there are a
BILLION Chinese and another BILLION in India all starting to "really dig" this
driving a car/truck thing. The newly emancipated Russians are wanting to drive
more as well. We REALLY need to eliminate our dependence on foreign oil.
Eliminating dependence on ALL oil is the real answer. I could live with an
electric van easily, I'm never more that 10 or 15 miles from home anyway. We
really need to get serious.

I found this from an article in BusinessWeek to be interesting. I listen to
the Ed Wallace show, Wheels, Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on 570 KLIF AM
in
Dallas, and he is good about getting his facts right.

2. Demand Is DOWN, Yet Prices Are UP
Just so we can all get on the same page, here are the verifiable facts on
oil
supplies, production, and gasoline demand.
In January of this year, the U.S. used 4% less petroleum than we did a year
ago. (Oil demand was down 3.2% in February.) Furthermore, demand has been
falling slowly since July of last year. Ronald Bailey of Reason Online has
pointed out that worldwide production of oil has risen 2.5% in the first
quarter, while worldwide demand has grown by only 2%. Production is expected
to increase by 3.3% in the second quarter, and by as much as 4.1% by the
third
quarter. The net result is that the U.S. daily buffer for oil production
against demand, which was a paltry 1.5 million barrels as recently as 2005,
is
now up to 3 million barrels in excess capacity today."

Where
are you, I'm moving. Our gas is shooting up like a rocket. I still drive
unnecessary trips - I guess 3.50 gas is STILL cheap to many. Look at all the
mondo trucks still blowing us off the road. At. $10/gal, I'll cut out the
fluff.

But, there is a shortage in acres planted of rice. This year farmers are
growing corn and soy beans for the fuel. The price of gas didn't go up during
the last six weeks. The value of the dollar dropped. Can you say, INFLATION.
You may wonder why this obscene tax was levied on those with fixed incomes?
Why
has there been no attempt to cut spending of military dollars in parts of the
world that our military isn't even in? Why has welfare tripled this year. Not
welfare for people, but welfare for corporations. We deposit billions of
dollars into numbered swiss bank accounts and it comes under "foreign aid".
Will anyone ask these questions at a presidential debate?

That could easily be the way to clear the shelves of stale merchandise and
receive maximum dollars.
The the shelves can be stocked with new/fresh rice grown in the USA, eh?

Somebody in our government needs to make a public announcement that we do
not have a shortage of rice in this country. The recent media coverage has
created a bit of a panic and now Rice is flying off the shelves -- not to
mention that some stores are elevating the price to take advantage of the
hysteria. BJ's (a store like Sam's Club) was completely sold out this
afternoon.
According to the president of the rice growers Association, the silos are
full and there is no shortage here. We really need leadership, and not
tomorrow.

the news? It is. Sams, Cosco, etc are limiting how much rice you can buy
b/c
of food shortages resulting from rising food costs. Ethanol is making corn,
flour, wheat, rice, etc more expensive and then it transfers over to dairy
and
meats because those animals eat feed. Can you imagine when more people are
driving cars fueled by ethanol where we will be with groceries.
