Conspiracy Theorists Unite!!!

Hello again, blogfans!

You know, generally speaking, I am NOT a conspiracy theorist. I think that Lee Harvey did the deed all by himself; I don't think that the Crusades were done to find Mary Magdeline, and I know that Paul McCartney never really died. Most conspiracies are concocted by bored people who need to make sense of something that doesn't make a lot of sense otherwise.

Current (and future) gas prices, however, are a modern conspiracy of astronomical proportions. Why a conspiracy, you may ask? Well, examine the evidence:
1. Al Gore has been screaming "global warming" from the rooftops for a decade or more and the only thing that's gone up more than greenhouse gas emissions is the sales of Hummer H2s.

2. Oil companies are making RECORD profits on their sales of fuel; a sure sign that prices are being unnecessarily inflated.

3. Oil company executives are steadfast in their solidarity on the topic, despite the weak attempts of Congress to protest. Meanwhile, the only action being taken is from the guy who goes out with that long suction-cup stick to raise the numbers on the sign!

What am I trying to say? The global warming crowd finally won! They realized that the only way to move people out of their gas-guzzlers was to make fuel for them out of reach financially. Here's the sad part: people who were just barely getting by with gas at $2.79 a gallon are now suffering immeasureably with it pounding on $4/gal! Of course, the fate of polar bears is much more important than the fate of a bunch of welfare mothers, so what deserved to be saved?

Here's a prediction: When everyone who doesn't REQUIRE a vehicle that gets 8 mpg (delivery vehicles, vehicles used to tow things, WORKING vehicles like towboats, dump trucks, etc.) has adjusted and gotten the hybrid that the enviro-nazis require at great personal sacrifice, a great pool of oil will be discovered and prices will drop back to less than $2/gal where they should be! As it is, the US has enough oil to make it happen NOW, if those same enviro-nazis would back off long enough to allow drilling off the coast of California or in the Alaskan National Wildlife refuge.

What's hard to believe is that so many people bought into the notion that polar bears are worth more than people.
