The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

Suspension of the tax, I'm in favor of. Suspension of requirements for less polluting and unhealthy blends, I'm not. Get ready for plenty of gas shortages and really expensive petrol prices for ... um, the rest of our lives. Now that we've finally had the good sense to ban MTBE (or whatever the acronym is for that toxic chemical), should we just turn around and re-pollute all our ground water because gasoline isn't artificially cheap any more?

Though it's debatable, we either have passed Peak production or soon will. After that, prices go up and up and up until all the gooey black stuff is gone.


It's 2006. We may not have our flying cars, but don't be fooled into thinking that the future never happens.
