Sorry, but it doesn't make me feel better.. about paying $4.00/gal. The democrats keep saying that the war in Iraq is all about oil. Well where the hell is it? The Saudi's, Kuaiti's, Afghans and Iraquis all owe their ass to us. Where's the frigging oil? Damn day traders and speculators are messing sh*t up.

That doesn't put a darn thing into perspective!

To do that, you'd have to answer these questions:

How much has the price of a Diet Snapple increased in the past four years?

How much has the price of Lipton ice tea increased in the past four years?

How much has the price of Gatorade increased in the past four years?

How mush has the price of Ocean Spray, brake fluid, Vick's Nyquil, Pepto Bismol, and Whiteout increased in the past four years?

The answers to these questions will likely put this into greater perspective than the information supplied in that chain email.
