Yeah, and the war will destroy the means of production.  That'll make
everybody's gas bill go to zero, since nobody will be able to get gas.
What a savings!

Talk about unsubstantiated conspiracy theories!  Clinton is still
President.  That Mr. Bush was (or even is) in the oil business is not
the same as saying he is at the head of a conspiracy to increase your
gas bill.  Sure is a comfort to make up a bogey man story when things
happen that you don't understand.  (Kind of the idea behind religions
in general.)

Utility deregulation has been happening under Mr. Clinton for the last
several years.  Geopolitics involving oil producing states has been
going on under Mr. Clinton for many years.  Gasoline prices spiked
(then abated), long before the election.  So was Bush to blame for the
rise, and Clinton to be credited for the fall back?

I take it you are a supporter of the Sore/Loserman ticket.  For the
next 8 years anything you don't like will be Bush's fault, and of
course all would have been perfect if only Gore was president....
