[Rumori] WEDNESDAY MAY 19

[xraysmalevich]

Oil prices have been kept abnormally low for a long time and we have 
built much of our economy on the assumption that oil will stay cheap. We 
need to build an infrastructure that is not so dependent on oil. And we 
will not have the impetus to do so unless gasoline prices keep rising. 
In the meantime, we will all experience pain in the form of higher 
costs- with devastating consequences to our economy.

Gasoline prices are so unrealistically low that consumers don't care and 
have been purchasing large quantities of reckless vehicles like 
individual cars and SUVs . The only way to send a message to american 
consumers that they are ABUSING a LIMITED RESOURCE is for the PRICE OF 
GASOLINE TO GO THROUGH THE ROOF.

Please write to the CEOs of Shell, Exxon, Mobil, etc. and REQUEST THEY 
RAISE GAS PRICES to help America WIN THE WAR ON TERROR! Please pass this 
email on to everyone you know.

----------

We've still got some of the cheapest gas in the world. $5 a gallon, 
baby. By November. Bring it on!!

Any re-edits and dissemination of the above in-progress would be 
appreciated.
