the greedy bastards around Tuscaloosa, Alabama have raised gasoline
prices 20 cents since this morning ... related to the NYC bombing, you
think???!!!

luckily, not all stations are caving in to the greed ..only Exxon
seems to be brand-wide in their 8percent jump. other isolated stations
of various brands have also jumped up that much. several others only
went up 10 cents. others haven't raised prices at all. and one shell
station dropped their prices by 2 cents.

all stations have long lines of cars, waiting to get gas ... even as
late as 7pm.

still wondering exactly how the price of gas relates to the
bombing/plane-crash by terrorists ... are we stupidly to expect all
middle-east governments to suddenly raise their prices on oil???
oooh! oooh!! i know!!! it's the Alaskans!!!! :(

no matter how many times i see it, the really depraved side of human
nature still digusts me, both in the folks that did the bombing and
the greedy bastards in the gas stations.
