Gas War---Realistic??

[davecummings]

I received the comments underneath my below web site URL as a forwarded email, and thought that the power of the Adult Internet is such that it might make a difference if we all creatively emailed site members/surfers/others. Wouldn't it be great if the American Public had Adult webmasters and Adult Internet folks to thank (assuming it works, of course). What do you think--any ideas???

Interesting. But I don't think it'd work that good. You'd have better luck asking a few spammers to blast a campaign to their 100million gi list with that msg.

Yuk---April crude is trading upward, and in now in the $36 per barrel area now! Gas prices will be affected again.

Possibly good idea, but if you can't get people to stop buying army tanks as vehicles, this won't do shit.

[mardigras]

Gas prices will go up anyway, administration needs to replenish equipment and supplies consumed in Iraq. Quickest way to do it, people will drive regardless of price.

I agree with IronHorse, you want to make a dent in gasoline prices, sell your 18MPG SUV and buy a Honda or Toyota hybrid.
