There is a plant being built around here that is going to do that. If prices go high enough, it probably wil come sooner than later. Of course, I have no interest in doing WVO so I can laugh when their supplies dry up or become scarce.
Unless I have a personal grudge against you, I tend to forget what you said in the previous post. Hell, I even forgot the name of my interviewer when I was applying for a job. I had to look on her desk for the most common name I saw there. When I was dating, my left pinkie tip would be for the girl's name when I forgot it. Maybe I got married so I don't have to remember names.

Believe it or not, we're pretty much on the same page. I don't think I'm unaffected ... I think everyone is affected, even biofuel users, hybrid drivers and so forth. Even those who use no fuel will be affected via trickle-down, as you said.
I think you just misinterpreted my initial comment. I'm not laughing at the fact that others are struggling with fuel prices (I am being pinched by it myself) ... what I'm laughing at is the ignorance regarding the issue ... whether it's people who think that the president is alone responsible for the prices or people who think there's an easy solution that we're all being cheated from. I'm astounded by people's inability to understand the very things you've described in your several responses.
I don't remember what people said in other threads either. Every once in a while when I don't think through it, I fall into egocentrism (failing to imagine the way others see a situation) ... you know, since I remember everything I've said before, I somehow subconsiously think others will too ... but I don't actually think they should when I stop and think about it (although I am awfully darn important) ...
