Wally is non union and won't allow a Union.  Lots of political b.s.   I just don't like going there period.

No offense but I refused to join the union when I worked at Georgia Power. If I owned a company I wouldn't let a union in either. I just can't see paying a guy $20 an hour to mop floors. Besides I can negotiate my own salary and if I don't like what the job offers I just go somewhere else. How do you guys buy cars if none of the car dealerships are union? How do you guys buy houses when none of the realtors are union? I'm just wondering how the union decides who to do business with and who not to?

I wish BP could make the repairs in Alaska out of their record profits with no cost impact to the consumers, but, the laws of supply and demand think there will be a shortage of crude oil while repairs are being made, so the price goes up.  With China and India buying more and more oil, the global supply gets tighter (which drives prices up), compounded by conflicts in the Middle East (which drives prices up), compounded by Iran's reluctance to play the game by everyone else's rules (which drives prices up).  Everyone blames Bush for high gas prices, while in reality he has very little influence on it at all.  "He's in bed with all those big oil guys in Texas!"  No, he's not.  ...and the "big oil guys in Texas" aren't the main movers and shakers when it comes to the price of crude in the world; in Texas, maybe, but no where else...

    Whoa!  You mean that Bush isn't soley responsible for the price of gas!?  But, how can that be?  The media says that he is, so it must be.  After all, they must be right. 
    Doc, it's amazing how simple the whole process is yet it all gets ignored by the "media".  My biggest question, and one that will probably never be answered, is why anyone takes them at their word anymore.  After the Bush scandal with...that one guy, I wouldn't trust them to report on a fender bender without blaming it on Bush.  (he causes everything else, why not that)  I give up.

I've realized lately that I don't even watch network news anymore.  Never.  I read some stuff on the Internet, I listen to the local AM radio station on the way to work, and avoid the papers like the plague (except for the Sports section)...

These idiots want me to believe that Bush controls gas prices, hurricanes, and my aunt's gout...  The press have apparently never heard of the law of supply and demand, and think global warming causes hurricanes (all credible scientific data says otherwise, mainly because 'global warming' doesn't exist anyway).  My problem is how offended I am that they think I'm an idiot for being foolish enough to believe them.  Anyone with an IQ over 100 can figure out the truth, and us PMEL troops are no dummies...

Hey Doc, anyone with any sense knows that the president does not control the issues that you mentioned. Let's look at gas prices. Bush has no control over the cost of oil. Matter of fact the petrolium companies don't either. Oil is a traded commodity and the prices are directed by the commodity traders. The media knows that there is a small group of Americans that are ignorant enough to listen and believe without checking it out themselves. The people that bite the media bull are the same ones who believe the National Enquirer and horoscopes.

You mean the National Enquirer isn't a legitimate source of news and information?!?  Damn...  I thought their article about the 300lb. 2-headed baby whose mother was an extraterrestrial and the father was Elvis was pretty interesting.  They had pictures and everything...!  :-D
