So when will Americans, pissed off already b/c of gas prices, respond?

When will they give up their sales at Kohls, "families", and selfish sentiments?

Was Katrina the latest staging area; the crucible for what is to come? (and, yes, Katrina was a fortuitous happenstance... no weather control on the part of anybody needed.)

We saw what happened after 9/11.

People have changed since then.

And how much worse will it get, the next disaster?

1. Things sure have changed since the 1970's

We had independent truckers blocking freeway onramps, a ballot initiative in CA to "Tax Big Oil", etc.

Amazing how complacent people have become.

5. Are you sure it wasn't to prEy for lower prices?

I hear there's lots more dictators in oil rich countries we can take down. There is a reason they refer to the democratically elected leader Hugo Chavez as a dictator, no? :D
