What better way to spend a cold winter evening than to curl up by a warm fire with a bottle of wine, a close friend, a movie, and a big bowl of popcorn…

Why did George Bush and the republicans really make gas prices go down?

Monday, October 16th, 2006

Just kidding…

I'm sorry for the rant, but I'd like to get this off my chest and maybe get someone to offer debate on the issue. 

I've been listening to the conspiracy theorists for about a month now (mostly disgruntled democrats). If I believed them I would be firmly set with the position that George Bush, and the republican party, fixed gas prices for the upcoming election (the republicans only wish they had that much power, for now they will have to settle for shredding some of my favorite sections of the constitution). I admit that I am one of the ignorant masses and cannot even grasp the immense complexity of world markets, but these people seem to have a complete lack of understanding of commodities markets. Less forgivable might be the steadfast refusal (by most I have have met with this position) to look for any understanding of "supply and demand" in the markets. The result of their laziness is the conspiracy which is supported by no math or even a cursory look at reasonableness of the claim.

Suspected motivation does not equal causality.

Oh and by the way… "I'm just sayin'", "Oh come on. You have to see it.", and "everybody knows it" are not a part of dialectic discourse. Please bring some product of critical thinking to the table when you try to convince me that the president's family gets all the money from Iraqi oil, and that he forced oil prices drop across world markets, so the republicans would not loose mid-term elections.

Rant mode disengage… 

Oh yea… There is a link. ;-)

One of my friends brought by their $8 CalorieKing book and I must admit that I'm thinking of getting one for the car…
