Listening to the Voices in My Head

If the New Royalty (aka politicians) had to pay for their own gas for their cars, rather than have taxpayers dollars to do the deed, I honestly believe the Oil Shortage Business would have fewer adherents to their policies of stopping production when surplus is up, and suddenly increasing production when OPEC goes to $60+ a barrel for crude.

Typing of the New Royalty... maybe the citizens should remind them that there was once a revolution to overthrow royalty. And the people are getting mightily pissed again.
