Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Illinois speed traps

[red5hilser (red5hilser]

Hey Steph: It's my belief that when gas reaches $10 a gallon, our ecomomy will 
implode and the United States will cease to function as a nation as we know it. 
Look at us now, with the dollar in the toilet and gas at $4. I've lived a full 
life, and at 71, I don't have much farther to go. But I fear for my 7 year-old 
son.

God, I hope that I'm wrong.? --? Ferrari Bubba

1.When the Oil companies use the leases they have I would support off shore 
but not until then.
2. Don't expect American Oil not to sell on the open market.
3. Think about it:If your raw materials have gone up and your product has 
gone up and you are selling less of your product AND you HAVE RECORD PROFITS 
would you increase your supply
of raw materials or build more factories so you produce more product and 
make less profit.

Don't think so.

I was in line at a fast food establishment after Katrina and was talking to 
an oil man about the $3
gasoline and he said 'I did not see you complain when I was getting $10 a 
barrel for my oil.

And remember these are the good days. I am 64 and I expect to see $10 a 
gallon b4 I check out.
