Israel, Lebanon, and oil prices

Here go the gas prices again!!! This thing between Israel and the Arab world has the oil people scared so the first thing that they do is to jack up prices before anything actually happens. Big oil owns our government. I truly believe this. They have put mega bucks in every congressman's campaign fund so therefore our government is not going to do anything. Oh they might make some noises about possible investigations, but if you will notice the investigations never actually take place. After all, we have the best government that money can buy! I wonder what would happen if the work force of this country were to send our legislators a message by having a two day period where everyone stays home. Just simply shut the country down for two days. Wow! would we have a surplus of gas or what? We might make the folks in Washington a bit nervous too. Imagine them thinking that they may have lost control of the everyday working stiff.
I also think that it is time to withdraw all support of any kind from the middle east. Let the Arabs and Jews fight it out to decide who is going to be the boss and then deal with the winner. These people have been murdering each other since the earliest days. We are not going to stop them, and we need to learn that.
Okay; I feel better now. Nurse! Oh nurse! Where are my medications???
