OT - Gas to hit 4.00

It seems to me that lately the  U.S. Constitution is more of a political
playing card  that gets used  whenever it  is convenient. It  has become
more of a living document than the actual ``law of the land.''

If  only we  lived in  a  truly free  market, this  wouldn't sound  like
economic theory...  How about we  start by eliminating  the rediculously
high gasoline tax?

Agreed. When can we start in Alaska?
