I'm old. I would "help" out around a local gas station when I was in the 8th grade and their was a price war. We were selling gas for 26¢ a gallon.

I'm not trying to start a political fight but if Washington would stop bending over and kissing the environmentalists butts for votes, then we could start drilling for oil in the Gulf of Mexico again. Don't tell me about the oil spill. I live just outside of New Orleans and I know what it did. I also know that the last major oil rig problem that affected the gulf was in 1979. That's a pretty good track record for drilling safety if you ask me.

I'll stop now before I start ranting.
