Yes

It's quite clear to me that the people within the news media are trying to warn, "We People of the United States of America," that fuel prices are again rising to levels that will most certainly cause a World-Wide depression. Yes, many economic experts have said as much and those news media people wouldn't panic the Public in such a way if the facts were false and all of those experts were wrong.

Then again, the news media has caused many of us to wonder why those fuel prices are rising to such unbelievable levels. Is that nothing more than legalized price gouging? Is it just a clever trick by those huge multinational oil companies to suck the wealth out of every one?

Yes, Dear Reader, you better believe that is exactly what those oil people are doing. So too, they have also fueled the fires of greed that those market investors are famous for. Like it or not, those investors put their money into markets that can make the most money in the shortest possible time. So, they all buy oil futures and then watch the market pressure force up the price. When they decide that the market will go no higher, they sell out and take huge profits. So too, they can sell short and watch the same market pressure force down the price. Either way, they make a whole lot of money, without regard to what those high prices will eventually do to the hard working and honest people within our society.

Where are our elected politicians when we truly need their help? Your guess is as good as mine, but at least we have the news media to thank for showing all of us the greedy plot and extortion that is being committed by the richest, most greedy, most heartless, most selfish and self-serving people on Earth. Who will you vote for in 2008?
