while it is true, that those bitches got me strugglin on, in 98 i was up in the bay, and i was not so Thizzed out as to be unable to comprehend my price at the pump, which was riggedy riggedy wreckin my cheddar. why on some evenings i could barely afford to ghostride my whip at all.

your citation notwithstanding, i fillled up my first motorcycle in ventura county, at the shell station on south lewis road in camarillo, just past camarillo plumbing and paint on the left side, near Ruby's Chuck Wagon. (best roasted green chile burgers on the planet) and my price per gallon was 74 and 9/10 cents a gallon. which would be fully 20 cents a gallon lower than the riverside average at the time on the cited chart.

but even back then, bitches were expensive. especially mine, but she was totally worth it all, despite my new proposition that straight jackin is the key to save me MAD cream.

Well said.

I get a kick out of those who think about the good old days of under a dollar a gallon gas and then tell us that we have enough crude in this country to last another 100 years.

Wall Street speculation drove up the cost of gas. Yes, a small percentage of the cost increase was from new regulation, but not 400%.

oil is not gasoline.

gasoline prices rise with oil prices since gasoline is a constituent of oil, but oil is NOT simply gasoline. oil is lotsa stuff. gasoline is just the one thing nearly everybody buys directly from an oil company instead of from a walmart that sells shit that was made by daihatsu heavy industries or norinco, or cosco, or samsung who buy their components from other manufacturers youve never heard of, that buy the raw materials from BASF who buys their feedstocks from exxon or shell oil.

the real money from oil comes from the medium wi=ght coponents, not the super light shit (propane butane and other gasses) the really light shit (naptha and solvents) the light shit (gasoline and other fuel oils) or the heavy shit (asphalt and tar) or the super heavy shit (industrial coke) the real money is the stuff right in the middle that makes pharmacueticals, cosmetics, dyes paints, urethanes, adhesives and a quadrillion other things that yiou use every day and would not neccessarily associate with oil, as well as the much more recognizable plastics, nylon, polyester, and other shit that you think of when you consider products made from oil.

the increased demand for fuel (gasoline diesel and kerosene) worldwide causes the price to rise, since the shit is sold to the HIGHEST bidder, not the "fair market value"

diamonds have value because more people want them than the supply can readily provide, while Skittles are cheap because the possession of skittles is prima facia evidence of criminal intent, so you could get shot by the neighborhood watch.

Diamonds only have value
Because Debeers has the monoploy on them

Diamonds are essentially artificially inflated commoditys that do not accuratly reflect the supply

pawn brokers dont give a shit about diamonds

the artificial nature of diamond pricing is irrelevant to the point, i personally go no use for diamonds unless they are embedded in a tool blade, other than that, they are useless rocks, but some people REALLY want them.

and yes, pawnbrokers prefer gold, since gold can be melted down, but diamonds too often have serial numbers on them which means they can be tracked as stolen property. jewelers diamond cutters and other people who make jewelry with diamonds pay good prices fro raw stones, but previously set stones are generally assumed to be stolen property.

I for one thank all the money we spend to eliminate (yeah right!) this horrible horrible plant.

May "the man" finally eradicate this "WEED".. (whilst we protect the afghan supply of Poppies (cus it's the only living they can make so... we MUST help that... )

screw the needs of the general U.S.. our potential allies mean more then the people who live here do...

I hear that that industrial coke is super heavy shit. cn
