>FWIW, gas prices have returned to semi-sane levels here. Within days of Hurricane Katrina pump prices shot up to over $3.00 per gallon. I filled up yesterday and it was $2.35/gallon. Nooooo, the oil companies weren't taking advantage of a catastrophe to gouge us, oh, no....
I filled up my mother's car for $2.13/pg when I was in Dallas, TX last weekend.
And it wasn't at Wal-Mart/Sams either. It was Shell or Exxon... one of those name brands.
The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money.
