Don’t worry, just a little bump - $70 is just around the corner. Short traders just keep making those margin calls, mortgage the house if you have to. Fortunes await you! PO is for pansies and doomers. At $70 short some more ..... it is going back to $22 .... the world is awash with oil ........ reality has nothing to do with it, its all in those charts!!!!!!!!!!

I'm actually only interested in hearing from posters who answer "yes" and what their reasons are. (If someone wants to start another post called "why do you hate America" for America-haters to post their reasons, that would be OK.)
yes I love America, for the following reasons....
Only in America......can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.
Only in America......are there handicap parking places in front of a skating rink.
Only in America......do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.
Only in America......do people order double cheese burgers, large fries, and a diet coke.
Only in America......do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters.
Only in America......do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.
Only in America......do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place.
Only in America......do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.
Only in America......do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.
Only in America......do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.
and finally
Only in America......can homeless combat veterans live in a cardboard box and viet nam draft dodger(s) become president! _________________ "I'm 100% sure that unsustainable conspicuous consumption of natural basic resources will eventually lead to a proverbial hell on earth for those people who get stuck with the mismanagement mess of mankind not being stewards of the environment!"

AMERICA IS WONDERFUL !!
I have been to ~ 40 countries in my travels around the world and there is no country that has what the US has (although I will take Brazil's female population any day of the week). If you have the guts, gumption and smarts to do something, then this is the country for you. _________________ Simon's Law: Everything put together falls apart sooner or later.

Cid Yama need not post here.
I love America.
I love it so much, I fight with every word I type to prevent it's Constitution from being trampled beneath the jackboots of the scum suckin' Bush Administration and it's corporate masters.
I took an oath to defend the Constitution from enemies both foreign and domestic. That oath is sacred.
The North American Union that the Bush Administration is working so hard towards, will mean the end of the Constitution, the end of the United States of America. If you love America, now is the time to stand up and defend it's very existence.
That is, unless you want to live in Mexamerada.
Just so you know, the U.S.A.F. is on the side of the American people. Let people know they will not be alone.
Read some Thomas Paine someday and find out what America is really supposed to be.

Thank you Cid, you made my point. I disagree with some of your posts, but the above is so uniquely American (in the good sense), something one hardly finds somewhere else.
In the US you don't swear to defend the country (or the Queen, the King etc) but the Constitution.

"America"?
The hemisphere? Yes.
The country that usurps its name like France referring to itself alone as "Europe"? Well, not as much as I once did. It was a country to admire and whose lead could be followed once. It sure isn't now. And I don't know if it has the will to be again. It seems like being a pushy bully without an ounce of regard for friend or foe is just too soft an option for them to pass up.
