You must like being smacked around by Ahmadinejad and OPEC

Oil and gasoline prices are going up, again. And this time the rise could very well take us to $5.00 per gallon and beyond. Why? For no reason other than greed and because those in charge of the flow of oil can do it.

There's no shortage; there's no war to interfere with the flow - yet; there's only the desire by the OPEC countries to wreak havoc in the world while oppressing the people in their respective populations. That's it.

So why do you continue to allow this to happen, America?

We could go to war and waste another few trillion on materiel while sacrificing a few thousand more service men. This is definitely an option, and it would be quite satisfying to thump some of the dictators who didn't get the message from Saddam Hussein's and Bin Laden's deaths. Yep, to see Mahmoud Ahmadinejad crawling out of a hole in the ground en route to the gallows is a tasty mental image.

But there's a better way, and it's a direction that would also restore our economy. The solution is a real domestic alternative fuel program. The program would rely mostly on ethanol with support from CNG and propane - all domestically sourced and produced right here in the United States.

These fuels are as abundant or more than oil-gasoline, they are cheaper, environmentally safer, and we don't have to go to war. The best part is that our not going to war doesn't mean that the dictators will not get their comeuppance; they will, as their economies dwindle and they can no longer pay off the people they are oppressing, their own people will hang them from lamp posts.

To make this happen, Mr. and Ms. America and all the lost Occupy souls who have been looking for something to champion, you just have to start demanding that we get off the oil-gasoline standard. We do not need gasoline and petroleum oil-based diesel as our primary engine fuels.

If you have heard that there are problems with ethanol or CNG or propane you have heard lies. If someone told you that we can't produce enough to supply our needs, they lied to you. It is just that simple. The lies emanate from the oil-gasoline industry and they are meant to keep you addicted to their fuels while making the OPEC dictators filthy stinkin' rich.

You don't believe it? Challenge me and my business partner. Ask questions; tell us your concerns. If we don’t know the answer we will get it from another authoritative source. Learn the truth so that you can tell your senators and congressmen what to do.

Just do something, America. Pretend you're alive and that you care about your personal finances and well being.
