nia, the companies that supplied electricity would shut the power down if their stock price dropped a quarter. Let me re-emphasis - if their stock was - lets say ten dollars and fifty cents a share, and it dropped to ten dollars and twenty-five cents a share - the power was shut down until the stock price went up again. People in California had electric bills that were $500 - $100This world is in a mess. Anyone who disagrees with that statement should take their blinders off. Gas prices were over three dollars a gallon because there was a ‘shortage’, yet oil companies made over One Hundred Billion dollars NET PROFIT in that one quarter. For anyone that does not understand - net profit means after all expenses are deducted. I.e. if you used one dollar in gas to buy something that costs you five dollars, and you sold that item for ten dollars, your net profit would be four dollars.

In a three month period the oil companies made over One Hundred Billion Dollars $100,000,000,000. net profit. This is obscene. Our society is very mobile, which means almost everyone has a car. In order to get to work, people had to sacrifice something - such as feeding their families just to pay for gas.

Why are the prices coming down just before an election? How come there was a supposed shortage then, but suddenly there is not one now? I understand the concept of supply and demand, but I also understand the idea behind Anti Trust laws. Too bad our congress doesn’t.

Trust - A business organization or combination consisting of a number of firms or corporations operating, and often united, under an agreement creating a trust, esp. one formed mainly for the purpose of regulating the supply and price of commodities; often, a combination formed for the purpose of controlling or monopolizing a trade, industry.

This is not the first time it was allowed to happen. A few years ago, in California, the companies that supplied electricity would shut the power down if their stock price dropped a quarter.

Someone is going to say - well what did people do in the old days before air conditioning. Then, we did not have as many cars on the road causing carbon monoxide emissions. We did not have global warming to the extent we do now. People could open their windows and get clean air to circulate through their homes. It was possible to have ice for cold drinks. No electric means no ice. Food spoiled. Respirators went down. People couldn’t breathe. All because of greed.

We are finding out, again, that our elected officials have lied and covered up things. I am specifically referring to the pedophile that just resigned from congress. Anyone else would have been led away in handcuffs. This ‘gentleman’ was allowed to go to an alcohol rehab center. I never knew alcohol would cause someone to become a pedophile. Watch out folks, that second martini might turn you into a pedophile.

Now we are being told this ex-congressman was molested when younger, and the unsaid, though implied suggestion, was when he was an alter boy. Gee - lets blame it on the church. The church has come under heavy criticism because some priests molested alter boys, so lets shift the blame to them. Anything not to accept responsibility for actions. This is just another ‘I was a victim - so don’t blame me, it wasn’t my fault’ excuse.

Our children use to be able to be safe when they went to school. Now they are not. Will they be all right if they walk to school or will someone t
