Re: RUMORS CONCERNING THE PRICE OF GAS?
What rumors??? Be glad you didn't have enough gas to experience the rude and cruelty of downstate! Supposedly prices are now only slightly higher than yesterday, but the long lines to get $3 gas before it went to $5 were REAL! I saw it myself in the Urbana area, and the Peoria paper says the same happened in Bloomington and Peoria. Be thankful it didn't happen in CHI, and watch your tone. Thanks!

Re: RUMORS CONCERNING THE PRICE OF GAS?
Any crazy hikes in the gas prices should ceritfy the closing of that business. There is no reason for an increase from $1.59 to 4-5 dollars per gallon. - Original Message - From: Richard McClary [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: NT System Admin Issues [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2001 10:35 AM Subject: RE: RUMORS CONCERNING THE PRICE OF GAS?

Re: RUMORS CONCERNING THE PRICE OF GAS AND LINES AT GAS STATIONS
We had the same prices, but HUGE lines and even a couple of station were shown on the news as tapped dry. The fact that 3 AG's (OK, TX and MS) reported issues with it yesterday, implies it did occur, but I didn't see anything but the long lines personally. So, not the bulls**it you thought, but not quite the big deal that some of us thought either. JayW [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/12/01 08:46AM For those of you who posted RUMORS of gas lines and rising prices for gasoline, consider yourself part of OUR enemy. PLEASE, PLEASE post only information that you personally know to be factual. So here are the facts from the Northern Suburbs of Chicago, where our gas prices are among the highest in the U.S. I reported yesterday that a gas station near my office was at $2.09 for a gallon of premium on my way into work yesterday morning. However, when I went out for lunch, the price had DROPPED to $1.99 per gallon. After all the RUMORS yesterday and the fact that I had less than a quarter of a tank of gas in my car, I was somewhat concerned. But at 5:00PM that gas station near my office was STILL at $1.99 per gallon and to my surprise, NO LINES! I figured that since I pass several gas stations on my way home, I'd take a chance that the RUMORS were bulls**t and wait to fill at the station near my home. Well, every gas station I passed had the same pricing as in the morning and there were NO LINES to be seen. Finally, I came to the gas station near my home, and the price of gas hadn't changed and there were NO LINES, so I pulled in and filled up as usual. So for those of you who are willing to pass rumors and join our enemies in battle, I suggest you have an opportunity to leave the enemy and rejoin us who are lucky enough to live in the greatest land of all. And the way to do that is to check the facts before posting erroneous information and contributing to what could have been a real panic in the U.S. Murray F.

A realist would figure out that it takes a full time effort to get people to boycott anything. People will put up with a lot for convienence, even being ripped off... -Original Message- From: John Hornbuckle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2001 10:13 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: RUMORS CONCERNING THE PRICE OF GAS? I think some conservatives would say that it's not the government's position to tell a vendor what he can or can't charge for his products or services. If a vendor chooses to charge obscene rates, he should have the freedom to do so. By the same token, consumers have the freedom to never spend a single penny with that vendor again--thus driving him out of business as punishment for his foolish pricing move. A conservative might argue that we can protect ourselves in this situation by voting with our wallets, and that we don't need government to step in and do it for us.

In that case: ...gas is $.50/gal and falling on the East coast; Jesus, Muhammad, and Nostradamus were seen sharing a 6-pack while telling Irish jokes; and it has been firmly established that 972 angels can dance on the head of a pin, or 23,925 on a standard thumb-tack.

You know, John, sometimes you don't have any choice on being ripped off. When every store in town and for 100's of miles around are selling a commodity at ridiculous prices or every gas station in town has raised their prices at the very same moment. Sometimes this is caused by cartels.and sometimes this is caused by RUMORS that are inaccurate.
