As a rebuttal to the letter of R. Calderwood:
Greed is the motivating force behind fuel price hikes. Instituting a universal increase (decrease) is just what our federal government wishes to take place and does. Raising prices simultaneously across the country is not truly against the law, which has one eye closed at all times particularly towards the oil companies!
One has to remember the government’s slush fund needs to be topped up on a regular schedule. How otherwise can they make such outrageous promises of doing the will of the people? And seemingly, like a conjurer, produce the proper size rabbit out of the hat? I have to say this: oil and government, are in cahoots, and have been since day one.
So rest your weary bones, everything is as it seems to be.
