What is "a stats"? I know stats, do you? Obama did not "whip" McCain, and I stand by my previous post.

[sshepard06]

What's your level of education? Have you ever taken a stats? The polls that had Obama whipping McCain turned out to be pretty accurate.

There is nobody you can blame for this except the consumers. Why are you commuting? Why all this huge cars? Its all about dependency. This ignorance system was doomed the day it evolved. You live in suburbs without infrastructure and public transport? Haven't you thought about the dependency on gas prices? The suburbs will be worth shit just because of oil shortage. How can someone think about the impact of oil prices while he's driving and trying to concentrate on the traffic?

well, you know... the democrats are right, we shouldnt put our fucking environment at risk for some shitty ass oil. its time to get out of the past, and find alternative fuels, atlernative power. we need to stop sucking up all of this oil. it harms the air, especially in big cities, and itf we drill in the oceans, it could and probably would pollute them too.

You must be a network news bonehead, since you pay attention to non-scientific polls. A lesson in statistics will tell you how accurate your "poll" really is--or isn't. Common knowledge (Fox reported), most people have no clue that when you hear the word "poll" by anyone in the media, better believe it is going to be 99% bullshit, and 1% accuracy. The reason for polls? To sway the opinion of the ignorant minions like yourself.

Ahh but here is what you are missing: In practice "our country" has little to do with what gets drilled. We can pass laws saying what is and isn't drillable but it is chevron, texaco, etc. that decide whether or not to drill. In practice they drill by supply and demand and laugh as the middle class continue to buy the gas they need to get to work... this is why Mobil posted the biggest profit for any US company EVER this year. If we could FORCE them to drill gas prices would drop... we can't.
