Regulation would not be with the oil companies, but with the trading and speculation. Everything goes from one extreme to the next, its part of our culture. We dont know when to stop, and then when something big happens, we snap up and go the other way. Doesnt matter if its gas prices or terrorisim, we are a nation of flipflopping gluttons.
Our country has really been in complete disaray since Sept 11th 2001 IMO. That day set all of us on a course of just absolute crazyness. Throw in two wars, a big hurricane, and morgage lending gone off the deep end, you get lots of people in debt, running out of gas, ready for something to happen. But we as Americans are more lazy now then ever. Im surprised that no one has tried to start taking a lead. Obama and McCain are just two of the same people we have seen for a while. I dont know who to listen to, or who to belive in. There is no strong leader in this country anymore, but even that wont do much with a goverment that has stopped working for the people.
No wonder people dont vote.
