Oil Prices

Oil prices are still zooming up. All time record hit today of
$147.00 a barrel, the stock market crashed and as it costs too
much for me to drive my small SUV around town so I have to ride
my bike most of the time.. Barak Obama again today warned against
trying to "drill our way out of this mess". Senator
Obama said it is foolish to drill as it would take seven years
to start harvesting oil from any drilling begun now.
OK, my grandson is six and is starting the first grade in September.
He won't get to High School for at least eight years and he
won't become a doctor for almost twenty more years so I will
advise my daughter to keep him home. Using the Senator's logic
we can't educate my grandson out of his ignorance. Takes too
long!
