Gas Price

With gas prices soaring to over $3.00 a gallon here, I have been trying to avoid driving the truck. The last time I filled up I ended up speding $2.84 as it is dropping back down. I still do not understand why we have been paying so much for gas the last few years. Let's start drilling in Alaska and tap all of the oil that is just waiting for the US to utilize. Why should we go to other countries when we can supply some of our own resources. Oh yeah, cause the bleeding heart liberals want to save a tree or some bird that might happen to get sprayed by some oil. Trees will grow back, and there are plenty of fucking seagulls, hell we can round up the ones around here and send them to Alaska if they accidently kill them off.
