We all know that if the truckers had to pay this for fuel , this country would shut down because they would park. The oil companies knew this and figured the Govt. would get involved so they neg. volume contract prices with the carriers and some I've heard as low as $1.98. They know that "joe regular" and "farmer John" cannot just "park" like the truckers and get the Govt. involved so they make up what the truckers aren't paying on the backs of the rest of us. Do you really think the railroads , mining industry or the giant ships are paying over $3.00 a gal for diesel??? If they were , everything they transport would go so high we would stop buying and this false economy we live in would collaps even quicker than it is now. The rich will "buy out" the people they made poor and we won't be any better off than Iraq was under Sadam. Do we really think those people CHOSE to be "social servants" to him and his chosen few?? Eventually the rich (ie crooks) of this and other countrys will own all our farm land and pay the poor (the rest of us with conciences) $8.00 per hr. to farm it. How's $10.00 gal milk , $8.00 lb. hamburg , $5.00 doz. eggs or $7.00 for a loaf of bread sound to ya??? Don't laugh , it has and IS happening in other countries and has only started here. Farmers are commiting suicide at one a day in some countries because of manipulative crooks in cooperation with unscrupulous loan sharks (banks?loan institutions)setting them up for failure and forclosure at pennies on the dollar to get their land. It's allready going on here but everybody would rather blame the farmer for going in too deep rather than see what's really going on. Complain about the gas if you want , there is a much bigger and more urgent issue going on here and the common people of this country better learn how to band together and stop it. If not , civil war is inevitable. It's either that or we will live in a dictatorship just like Iraq and a lot of other countries that didn't stand up till it was too late. Sorry if my glass looks half empty. These are the facts. Give me some facts to contradict because I really am an optimist (I love fishing and farming) and I hate the fact that us optimists are the very ones that these "bottom feeders" take advantage of to gain their control. We all are thinking the same thing while they are screwing us , "why would they do something like that"?? I'm afraid it's gonna get ugly before it gets better.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
