Where is the oil? All over the world. Most of the oil we use in the US
comes
from Canada and South America.
Why are we in Afghanistan & Iraq? We went into Afghanistan in response to
9/11... which completely made sense. Why we then went into Iraq... I have
no
idea why Bush gave in to the demands of the Democrats on that.

I live where milk is over $4 per gallon. I live where people pay over $8
per
gallon for bottled tap water. I live where people pay over $8 per gallon
for
beer, and over $13 per gallon for Hershey's Chocolate Syrup. I live where
people pay of $30 per gallon for Red Bull Energy Drink, and over $37 per
gallon for Shampoo. Where I live, people pay over $94 per gallon for
Tabasco
sauce, $109 per gallon for cough syrup (which doesn't work), and $198 per
gallon for Liquid Paper. They pay over $300 per gallon for hair dye, over
$2,700 per gallon for black ink for their printer, and, if they like
Chanel
No.5 perfume, they shell out over $25,000 per gallon for it.
Thankfully, I live in the US where gas is plentiful and cheap.
Where do you live? (and what do you drive that has a 25 gallon tank?)
