willful ignorance abounds

aack -must vent a bit.

How does this country survive? We have so many people who just cannot think logically.

I'm sorry but a $1 price in fuel prices after a hurricane that hit coastal refineries is NOT a surprise, its not a conspiracy by the oil companies. Its JUST how things are.

Honestly Katrina was only 3 years ago. Prices rose by a $1 then in a steeper % increase. Ike took his sweet time coming through the caribbean and the gulf and while the predictions of where he would hit changed a lot that whole area is dotted with oil platforms and refineries. Folks who couldn't absorb a price increase had NO business not keeping their tanks topped up and doing everything possible to avoid having to make any extra trips from Sep 12-28 (roughly) and really they have no excuse for not knowing what would happen; although I don't think I heard ANY recommendations to do this from our HUGE media. I guess the daily lives of celebrity blondes and picking apart stupid campaign commercials were too engrossing so the media couldn't be bothered to compile and distribute information that would actually be valuable to folks PBTTTTTT to the whiners and the media.
