O.T. Gas price war

It becomes clearer just who controls the price of gas when there's a ballot
measure on tap that might take away some of Big Oil's profit. Where is the
international community that bid up the cost of a barrel of oil now? Did the
Chinese suddenly decide they no longer need oil? Did they ever need oil? Or
how about this - - what "temporary arrangement" are we in the middle of
right now?

Big Oil is damn concerned. You can tell by the free flow of money for
commercials.

They have all those big bucks they charged for gas to "guide your thinking".

Penalize them or reward them - - your choice.

Go with the money, or go with the future - -

And look how many "goodwill" commercials Citgo is pumping out. Chavez must
be hurting.

He lost 7-Eleven, so I imagine that hurt a bit. I don't think we have any
Citgos here in town; if so, there aren't many.

We've got them all over the Midwest, they're almost as ubitquous as Tim
Horton's in Ontario. And Thornton's, Speedway, Gas City, Exxon/Mobil
BP/Amoco.

All in all, I'd rather have a good Tim Horton's. But there is Krispy
Kreme. . . .
