Thank you Subjoe, Mink as you may or may not have noticed in the janky forum here if you use quick reply..there are no (bold type) or any other options. In quick reply you just code the html yourself. [ b ] and [ /b ] and the text you want bolded in between will do the trick. Take the extra spaces I put in the brackets out is all. |

Thank you Subjoe, Mink as you may or may not have noticed in the janky forum here if you use quick reply..there are no (bold type) or any other options. I am sure Mink knows this full well and was just being difficult. I was merely pointing to the fact that it would take an enormous leap in both bicycle commuters and also bus ridership. To create the enormous price change in gas we have seen in just a two month span. In fact I can guarantee you, you couldn't find data supporting your claim (outside the odd story on a person who changed their routine), since the price change came about so rapidly..the data couldn't even be processed yet by Mass transit organizations nor bike rider study groups. Furthermore your elitist attempt to dodge my question as "yelling", is comical when I imagine you knew full well what I meant. If you didn't well then LOL this is going to be one funny place to post. If you didn't maybe some web literacy classes are in order? I have read your previous attempts at making a rational argument here, and you are far from the elitist saint you'd like paint yourself now. I don't use quick reply, but thanks for clarifying your experience with it and for clarifying your previous response. Although the country has been in the same boat with the gas prices for some time now, it is amazing these odd stories of folks saving money by riding the bus, motorcycles, bicycles, commutting and carpolling, have not been grouped together to show a strong trend in influencing the price. I was merely giving these folks credit as a start in dealing with the situation. In hopes of finding an obvious contribution in a written article, instead, I find links of speculations with absolutely no credit to consumers accept to say the demand has lowered and to look for gas prices to hit $50.or less a barrel. Furthermore, when you join any forum and in this case, this "janky" forum, with an attitude like yours, you can expect to be ignored. Go back to Mayberry!  |

There are many bike and bus riders we can thank for the lower gas prices. Bush is in hiding, otherwise I might think he had something to do with it. certainly i would never expect mink to credit president bush with anything positive but don't you suppose it's just a tiny bit possible that his lifting the federal ban on offshore drilling may have had something to do with the drop in oil prices?  |

look for gas prices to hit $50.or less a barrel. ummm, that already happened. oil is at $42. www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12400801/if this happened under obama's reign you and all the other libs would be singing his praises and naming streets and schools after him. oh, i forgot that's already happened.  |

Yes, I read that in one of the links and it may be true. If that is the case, why the heck did he wait so long. Why did he allow the prices to go so high it affected so much?? Is it greed or stupidity? frankly, I think it is part of the speculation aspect. |

I don't have an attitude, Mrs. I don't reply to people who appear to be yelling on the internet....lol. Act as holy as you like...now..I have read your stuff, you're not so squeaky clean...just squeaky. And yes had this happened after the inauguration, libs would be giving Barry 110% of the credit for it. |

Is it greed or stupidity? frankly, I think it is part of the speculation aspect.Aahhh, I can't believe it! Have you completely forgotten how the Dems fought him tooth and nail over offshore drilling? Do you recall any of the "Drill Here Drill Now" fight? Have you seen a reciprocal action in the Congress yet? Pelosi's mealy-mouthed 50-mile lease line was a token measure that she knew would not expand the offshore production numbers. I have posted links on this board before, dealing with how the Dems felt assured that any lifting of the various bans on domestic oil production on- or offshore would be backfilled with the lawsuits from their reliable allies, the environmentalists. Do you recall reading the links I posted about how none of the leases that were released in the Chukchi Sea north of Alaska have been drilled yet because the Sierra Club and the Center for Biological Diversity have filed lawsuits stopping every single one of them? |

The oil price plunge has NOTHING to do with off shore drilling. It's the economy stupid!

Can you back that up with anything besides your opinion? yes the economy is definitely playing it's part globally. But can you prove that offshore drilling has (oh wait you yelled tisk tisk where is mink....) "nothing" to do with it...stupid. So it's merely the opinion of an under informed liberal. Please refrain from yelling on the internet, it hurts minks' delicate sensibilities... |

Your claiming that you think it's simply the possibility of off shore drilling coming online in the next few years that is driving prices down, correct?
