i got gas for $1.28 the other day (which is damn good for where i'm at). i fail to believe that prices are actually going down and gonna stay at a reasonable price, just because we've been paying so much for it lately. most people believe that saudi arabia ranks number one when it comes to oil, however it's actually russia. contributing to that is russia's size, but it doesn't really matter because we cant rely on them for our oil. russia's richest man and top oil baron has recently gone off to prison and they have a shit economy to begin with, so all potential of a stable trade with them goes out the door. so we rely on the saudis for their oil. the problem with the saudis though is that they're basically a terrorist factory. we cant just come out and say this because we need their oil. saudi arabia has lots of money and they also run a charity system for their nation. a counsel convenes and doles out money to whom ever they want. most of this money goes to building schools and churches, but...they also dont really pay attention to who the money is going to. a very popular religion of saudi arabia is a sect of islam called wahhabism, which more or less preaches jihad and intolerance for basically everyone and these sects go militant. so the saudis are basically funneling money to terrorists (through churches) and they dont really give a shit and we cant do anything about it out of fear of losing oil. but then again, OPEC can set oil prices at whatever they want. if they want to make it so gas would cost 5 dollars a gallon, they could and it would be just BECAUSE.

And they have the audacity to open a toll road to get up north. Surely they could use at least part of the 3/4 of our road tax that doesn't go on anything car related on making that free? Because, lets face it, using it for handouts to our joke of a public transport system is just pissing it away...

typically things like road tax i believe are handled on a county to county basis. but i dont really know, i hardly pay attention when i do my taxes. just how much money i'm getting is all i care about.
