Unless everyone on this board is writing their Congressmen, Senators, and even the President demanding we start drilling in ANWR and off the coast of Florida, we are not doing our part to stabilize the price of oil.
It is all about supply and demand, and unless we get supply above demand we are all going to continue to be hosed!!!
