Falling Gas Prices and Cynicism

Gas prices are down here in NY state, as I suppose they are in most places. Why do you suppose that is? Could it be that the oil company executives are feeling sorry for us and that they are cutting their profit margins? No?

Then perhpas the war in Iraq has ended and additional supplies have become available? No?

I wonder what it could be! Perhaps I would be acting too cynical to suggest that it is because the mid-term elections are around the corner and the oil company execs are worried that their Republican friends might not get reelected to Congress if prices are high. No? I'm not being too cynical? Do ya think that prices might be back up to $3+ a gallon by the time Thanksgiving rolls around? Me too.

Read another opinion in the Texarcana Gazette...
