Hey, I thought you worked for a government agency... LOL

Are you part of the problem, or part of the solution?

No one int the US except California should pay this much money for gas. Since California is taxed like a socialist country, due to all those sick illegals that need free medical care, they deserve to pay more.

Now, if every sane Californian was to report an illegal for deportation, you\'ll actually save money in the long run. You\'ll still have legal non-english speaking Hispanics who\'ll wash dishes and paint homes. They\'ll just have to work harder.

Miss Tique\'s parents should be trucked outta here, IMO.

What\'s funny is that I actually know a couple of illegals.  I\'ll bet if I tried to rat them out to whatever official is supposed to be interested in this, he would probably say "yeah, and whudda you want me to do about it?"

I get the impression the INS is overloaded and probably has more than enough work with legal proceedings against the dangerous illegals.  Too busy to bother with a couple of teenagers running a leaf blower.  :D

Long story, but I will say I am not the one causing my own headace.  This isn\'t a partisan issue at all, it is just government in general and their ability to make the simplest tasks so difficult.

Gas prices are high because oil is in high demand from a number of new, incredibly populated markets ie China, India.

atleast that\'s what i heard, i shudder when i see the news and some old man says "oh it\'s gotta be the damn war in Iraq".

YOU THINK GASOLINE IS EXPENSIVE?

Substance Usual size and Cost Per Gallon
Diet Snapple 16oz for $ 1.29 $ 10.32 per gallon
Lipton Ice Tea 16oz for $ 1.19 $ 9.52 per gallon
Gatorade 20oz for $ 1.59 $ 10.17 per gallon
Ocean Spray 16oz for $ 1.25 $ 10.00 per gallon
Pint of milk 16oz for $ 1.59 $ 12.72 per gallon
STP Brake Fluid 12oz for $ 3.15 $ 33.60 per gallon
Vick’s Nyquil 6oz for $ 8.35 $ 178.13 per gallon
Pepto Bismol 4oz for $ 3.85 $ 123.20 per gallon
Wite Out .7oz for $ 1.39 $ 254.18 per gallon
Scope 1.5 oz for $ 0.99 $ 84.48 per gallon

And this is the REAL KICKER:

Evian water 9oz for $ 1.49 = $ 21.19 per gallon $ 21.19 FOR WATER!!

So next time you’re at the pump, be glad your car doesn’t run on Nyquil, or Scope, or Wite Out!!!!

This is probably the worst case of comparing apples to oranges I\'ve seen.  Comparing scope prices to gasoline prices?

We have very high taxes... that\'s what I blame our gov. for. And there are many other reasons to do this. But I\'ve got the feeling, that YOU will never balme YOUR gov. for anything. Well G.B. is a Texasboy, isn\'t he ?

BTW: your Avatar suits you well... :p
