The gas price blues

With oil up to $135 a barrel and the national average for a gallon of gasoline at $3.99, people have to begin wondering when it will ever end. Get my take on this issue.

To do list: The earth

There are many important issues in people's minds in this day and age, but how important is it on the scale of necessity? Gas prices are forcing people to stay home and rising the cost of practically everything. People need to open their eyes and see what is of true concern.

Scotty grab your guns... and food

Gas, food, energy and foreclosures are setting records while employment is reaching record lows - what is in store for us? My suggestion: don't wait to prepare yourself. Learn what this southern redneck has to say about the precautions I'm taking.

Wind, Solar and Water?

With the price of oil, global warming and lack of food due to disasters and the expansion of corn being used as fuel, the world is quickly rushing to discover the future of energy. What will be the next big thing and why isn't the government or billion-backed oil companies working to unleash it when they can reap the rewards of a better product? We all know it goes back to the good ole fashioned dollar bill. The buck.

21: A card counting hell of a time!

There are so many new movies on the shelf with tons more hitting the stands every week. Movies aren't what they used to be, but the new movie 21, a story of intellect and gambling has what a lot of what movies lack - a good plot. There were no fancy graphics but the story made the movie.

Move away from the ocean - it is dangerous stupid

With history proving that certain areas of the world are prone to major disasters, why would people continue to live there? As more storms make their way torwards the east coast, organizations such as the Red Cross are asking for donations. Should we help those who don't help themselves?

Petroleum prices are fixed

Oil and gas prices vary from day to day. When they rise, we see the new tag almost imediately but when prices decline, they slowly gown down. Who is in charge of this? What can be done about the monopoly of the government and big oil companies?

When will the government bail us out?

The government has been stepping into the business world with recent bank failures, insurance companies falling, etc. All these bailouts are only making it harder on the American people. $700 billion harder. Is it our responsibility to help bad business?

Technology vs Energy

We all love new toys and find ourselves eager to be the first to get one. Businesses are in a race to build new things just as much we are to buy them. Whatever it is, technology will power our future, but what will power it? If we really want to build it better, we need to start with the simple things in life.

The Real Never Ending Story

Yes, life is a miracle. The fact that we are here is beyond belief. One generation comes and another goes. It is a cycle, the circle of life. Life is great, but isn't always easy, we can all testify to that. In most cases, we make it harder on ourselves. Life is simply a re-run. It's hard not to see the careless repetition. In this issue, I'd like to answer the question - why do we just keep going in circles? The shortest distance between two points is a straight line!
