The Anti-American OPEC Monopoly

OPEC was created in 1960 by Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. It now includes nine other oil-producing nations – Algeria, Angola, Ecuador, Indonesia, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Its stated goal is “to co-ordinate and unify petroleum policies among Member Countries, in order to secure fair and stable prices for petroleum producers.”

Funniest part is the speed limit actually says 55.

Doing 55 on 285 is a deathwish... I'm a pretty nice guy, but if your going less than 70, I'm going to run you down.

Aye, when I was trying to find a place to live in Atlanta, I rented a compact car (a Mitsubishi Galant) that had a top speed of about 65. I had the pedal to the metal and was still pissing people off in the slow lane on 285. I can almost swear that some old granny flipped me the bird.

Likely was. You are right. Go to war. Your odds of surviving are far better. We get very frequent reports of dead motorcycle riders. And we don't even have that many cyclists (for obvious reasons).

There is no reason to suspect that the price of oil will stop rising. The mechanisms for this have presumably already been explained to you.
