Another thing

Valero lowered their gas price from yesterdays $3.65 to $3.52, as if that makes it any better that two days before it was $3.45. I guess they have to make an effort to look like prices go down, or sate people who were angry they jumped 20 cents, by dropping it so those people will all think... Well, that's not as bad as $3.65. I think we're being had, but what can we do? All these Gas Strikes don't work. People not buying gas on one day, and then buying the next. If people were to make a concerted effort to commute together, and not buy gas for a month... Maybe that would help, but truckers and travelers couldn't do that. So I donno. I've thought about writing the President, and my representatives... but would they even listen, do they even care? They're so out of touch, every time I write a senator they send back a form letter. Later on I'll get a form letter response which sorta addresses my question, in the same general way a person predicting the end of the world does their predicting... in an open and broad noncommittal way. So what's the point?
